Is anyone aware of a list or a database, complete or otherwise, of stone houses here in Vermont? I met a person on a flight home to BTV who was retired and was trying to visit every stone house in Vermont. I’d like to do the same. Thanks

Wish I could help with a full list. There is a handsome one (on the west side of Pleasant Valley Road in Underhill, I think. We see it when we drive south from 15 going to Underhill State Park.

So, despite being born here, I've unfortunately never spent any time in one. Is it still feasible to have one built, and are they energy efficient or prone to mold here? I've always loved them.

Used to be married into the family that used to own a lovely Stone House on Greeley Road in Springfield Vermont. Was told the stone came from just. down the road

I think there might be one on Rt. 17 in Addison near the Champlain Bridge.

There are quite a few stoned houses here in Barre… a bunch of drunk ones too.

Suggestion: both of you join The 251 Club. This late spring-summer-fall, drive together to every one of the towns in VT and chronicle the stone houses you find. You’ll have a fabulous time!

My aunt lives in one. But her house isn't a museum

Vermont’s not a museum you can traipse through, people lives in them and deserve privacy. Visiting public stone buildings is a different story, but just stop it otherwise.

Yeah what does OP mean by “visit”?

This is like asking for a list of all the wood siding houses in VT so they can visit.

What are they expecting to do? These houses are mostly private properties.

Exactly, like if you’re interested in stone house architecture go to a museum or something. Vermonters also are becoming more militant towards leaf peeper types because they’re sick and tired of being disregarded and disrespectful by the people wanting nothing but pictures of their homes and yards.
