VERGENNES — Jeff and Andrew Fritz are restoring the classic, 1869 Stevens estate home in Vergennes. Local residents have enjoyed watching the work progress along Main Street. The home's new owners had a new, copper-roofed cupola installed atop the estate's back barn last week. Among the on-lookers at the cupola installation were the great grandchildren of the house's original owners, Herrick and Electa Stevens. An historic plaque was presented to the Stevens family and will be affixed to the Italianate-style building. "Reviving the home will be a long, unrushed process as the team of owner, builder John Perkins, of Perkins Smith, Shelburne and designer Rebecca Duffy of Vergennes, work to make decisions that reflect an unwavering respect for the home’s origins while creating a relevant interior environment and grounds," according to Jeff Fritz.
