Dutton House (Shelburne, Vermont)
The Dutton House is an exhibit building at Shelburne Museum in Shelburne, Vermont; it is also known as the Salmon Dutton House.〔Hill, Ralph Nading and Lilian Baker Carlisle. The Story of The Shelburne Museum. 1955. 〕
Dutton House constitutes the first dwelling brought to Museum property.〔http://www.shelburnemuseum.org/buildings_and_grounds/detail.php?id=8〕 In order to relocate the structure to Museum grounds, builders dismantled the house. Museum workers photographed the house prior to and while the house was being dismantled. Samples of each stenciled border were excised from the plaster walls. These samples were used as models for recreating the stenciled decoration of Dutton House’s interior. The sunburst stencil painted motif over a second floor fireplace mantle was also retained and installed in the re-erected house. Museum workers added dentil molding, copied from a house in Alburg, Vermont, to the structure’s cornice.〔
==History==
Salmon Dutton built Dutton House in Cavendish, Vermont in 1781. Having emigrated from Massachusetts, Dutton worked as a road surveyor ''(see Surveying)'', a justice of the peace, and the treasurer of the town of Cavendish. Like many homes of the period, Dutton used his house as both a residence and place of business. Continuing his tradition, Dutton’s descendants, who occupied the house until 1900, operated Dutton House as a store, an inn, and a boarding house for local mill workers.〔 Although Dutton originally constructed Dutton House in the indigenous Saltbox style, as the building’s function changed over time, Dutton and his descendants expanded the structure. The many additions that extend from the Saltbox core reflect the tradition of “continuous” architecture common in New England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.〔
In the late 1940s Redfield Proctor, Jr., Dutton’s great-great-grandson, offered the house to the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities, now Historic New England. As part of considering the house, architect Frank Chouteau Brown measured and delineated the house and its stencil painted walls for the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1946. Ultimately, Proctor donated the house to the Vermont Historical Society; however, in 1950 when the Vermont Highway Department’s planned road improvements threatened the structure, the Society offered it to Shelburne Museum.〔http://vermonthistory.org/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1 〕
