The 1876 B Street House Bed and Breakfast is near the historic Piper’s Opera House. It took Chris and Carolyn Eichin nearly three years to convert Henry Piper’s original home into an elegant B&B. Opened in September 2007, their B&B features three guest rooms upstairs and a large parlor and library downstairs, where a full gourmet breakfast is served every morning. Work continues on the gardens, which feature native and Victorian plants.

Stone Village Historic District (1838-60)

North Street (Route 103), Chester, Vermont USA • The Stone Village Historic District: Although there are 55 such stone buildings in Windsor County, this stretch is notable for having ten in close proximity. Their unique construction dates back to 1838, when the cost for a stone house was five dollars a week plus a jug of good rum. Brothers Orison (or Alison) and Wiley Clark learned the art of “sneckled ashlar” stonework while helping construct the locks for Canada’s Welland Canal. Upon their return to Vermont, the two used locally quarried slabs of granite, gneiss, and schist—the latter being laden with sparkly mica and easily split, explaining its use on the outside surface of the buildings—to build the stone houses.
