Montpelier VT – Interesting Houses

Posted on May 13, 2026


No surprise that not only are the buildings in downtown Montpelier interesting, but the houses are too.

Sometimes, it’s just the paint on the house that makes it interesting.

I just love the patriotic flags, as well as the abundance of black-eyed susan flowers of this Victorian. Most of the houses I saw were Victorian, my favorite style. 🙂

And the houses come in many different colors! My favorites were the blue Victorian and the mauve Victorian.

Each house I saw had some interesting and unique architectural details. I love these turrets. And if you look closely at some of the Victorians, you can see the fancy roof designs.

A lot of the houses have front porches, which I love. I can just picture sitting out on the porch, watching the world go by.
