The Dog Team Tavern was a restaurant that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was located on Dog Team Road, off U.S. Route 7, roughly four miles north of the town of Middlebury, Vermont in Addison County. It is located geographically in the Champlain Valley of the Appalachian Mountains. The restaurant burned down in early September 2006, destroying artifacts〔''(Burlington Free Press Article )''.〕 of the Sir Wilfred Grenfell Mission and Labrador handicrafts. The rustic restaurant was a local landmark known for its sizable portions (most notably the prime rib) and the "relish wheel," which typically contained corn relish, apple butter, horseradish cottage cheese, beets, and sauerkraut. Also, the restaurant's famous sticky buns〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wcax.com/story/24246443/channel-3-cheer-dog-team-tavern-sticky-buns )〕 were always served at the beginning of each meal. The restaurant was very popular among students from the nearby Middlebury College, who often flocked there with family during the college's fall family weekends. == History == The Dog Team Tavern was originally constructed in the 1920s by Sir Wilfred and Lady Anne Grenfell.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.vvoice.org/?module=displaystory&story_id=832&format=print&edition_id=29 )〕 The building was originally a mission house that was started by Grenfell and his wife in 1931. The Dog Team Tavern was opened in 1936 as a tea house and outlet for handicrafts from Newfoundland and Labrador. Earlier in 1931, Sir Wilfred and Lady Anne retired to Charlotte, Vermont, where they built Kenloch House. In 1934, the couple opened a Dog Team Tea House in Ferrisburg, Vermont, and about that time they opened houses in Oxford and Guilford, Connecticut. When Eben and Catherine Joy purchased the Dog Team Tavern from the International Grenfell Association (of New York City) in 1946 they opened it as a restaurant, adding a bar/tavern later when they were able to obtain a license in "dry" New Haven.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://addisoncountyghosthunters.blogspot.co.il/2011/10/hunt-1-dog-team-tavern-in-middlebury.html )〕 Eben Joy, and his second wife, Eileen, sold the Dog Team Tavern to Andrew Golbert of Burlington, Vermont (now of Essex Junction), in 1978.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.addisonindependent.com/?q=node/228 )〕 Andrew Golbert sold the DTT to Chris Hesslink and Robert Mahoney in 1987, with Mahoney leaving the business ''circa'' 1996/97, when Hesslink reorganized and continued the business until it burned on September 1, 2006.〔 Hesslink's body was recovered from the fire.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.addisonindependent.com/?q=node/228 )〕 The Dog Team has catered to celebrities such as Eleanor Roosevelt, Robert Frost,〔 Charles Lawton, Neil Diamond, Michael Eisner and more. Originally, the staff lived upstairs as the restaurant was only open in the summers. Later, it was open all year. There was a small building next door which of late has been used as a gift shop; but in previous times it was known as The Dog Team Playhouse, and several shows were put on there. The tavern was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002, and it appears to be still listed on the Register, despite the fire.〔 Among the treasures lost in the 2006 fire were a Grenfell overcoat donated by Arlene LaFave, a Grenfell snowsuit for a child, a huge collection of old political buttons, a beautiful Victorian period dollhouse, an old handpainted sign for orange soda, the hide of a wallaby and the head of a bear, two Grenfell throw pillows with the face of a husky embroidered on each one, original posters and articles detailing Sir Grenfell's work and lectures, two oil paintings by different artists of the restaurant, one painting of Sir Wilfred Grenfell, a marble statue of snow drifts with a little dogsled and dogs and at least a dozen unique Grenfell silk mats. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dog Team Tavern」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
