Architectural drawing of the front elevation of the second Vermont State House, Montpelier, Vermont

Young, Ammi B. (Ammi Burnham), 1799-1874

Architectural drawing by Ammi B. Young of the front elevation of the second Vermont State House in Montpelier, Vermont dating from 1832. The first Vermont State House was a three-story wood frame building completed in 1808 that was determined to need expanding in the late 1820s. The second Vermont State House was constructed from Young's designs between 1833 and 1838 and was a two-story building with a low saucer dome and Doric portico that used Barre granite for much of the exterior. In January of 1857, most of the second Vermont State House was destroyed in a fire, including the interior and dome, though the portico and some of the granite walls survived.
