Essex
Junction trustees were voting on a property located in the village
of Essex Junction on this day in 1914. It had been purchased by
the village in 1911 from Mr. Henry Root.
It
was on this day that trustees decided to name the property Lincoln
Hall Square, commonly known today as Lincoln Hall. Lincoln Hall
has served as retail space, police headquarters, fire department,
and was the first aid center during World War II.
Many
people don’t realize that Lincoln Hall is one of the oldest
buildings in Essex Junction. It was finished in 1820 by Abram Stevens,
who was not only a “Green Mountain Boy” but also an
early citizen of Essex Junction.
