Residence at 133 State Street, Montpelier

Perry, George W.

Photograph of number 133 and other residences along State Street in Montpelier before the area became dominated by buildings own by the state and insurance companies. 133 State Street was probably built by James Tottingham Thurston, who was treasurer of the Vermont Mutual Fire Insurance Co. for 23 years and later its president from 1874 to 1877. The house was eventually sold to Henry E. Fifield, who had a modest career in middle management at National Life, and his wife Frances, who was daughter of Charles Dewey, president of National Life who lived at 120 State Street. The house existed in the shadow of the National Life home office at 133 State Street until it was sold to the State of Vermont and torn down in 1962 for a parking lot.
