Over the years, Birdseye has collaborated with Smith Alvarez Sienkiewycz Architects on multiple restoration projects at the Inn.

Initial efforts focused on fire-damaged guest rooms and common areas, requiring careful demolition, documentation, and rebuilding of original period elements such as plasterwork, trim, and interior doors. In parallel, Birdseye addressed critical envelope repairs, including custom fabrication and installation of historically accurate exterior doors.

In 2018, major upgrades to the Inn’s infrastructure took shape with the full renovation of its commercial kitchens, integrating state-of-the-art equipment while maintaining architectural continuity. That same winter, extensive work on the North Porch restored one of the Inn’s most beloved public spaces—reinforcing structural components, preserving original detailing, and ensuring its longevity.

The project exemplifies Birdseye’s ability to navigate complex historic restorations with precision, craft, and a commitment to preserving Vermont’s architectural legacy.
