Title

28 & 34 Barre Street, Montpelier Freeze Lockers

Creator

Carnahan, Paul

Description

This little house at 34 Barre Street was replaced by a low, Moderne-style brick building with great fanfare in 1947. It was occupied by Montpelier Freeze Lockers, Inc., a co-op that processed meat and rented freezer lockers to families for fruit and vegetable storage. The large brick house on the left (28 Barre Street), built circa 1810 and now painted white, was the home of liveryman C.G. Downing who developed the street that bears his name between these two properties in 1888.
