Built before 1835, this typical country store in Plymouth, Vermont, consists of a two-story main block with a one-story storage ell on the southern (left) side, each of frame and clapboard with gabled roof. The building was the village’s country store and was owned by the Coolidge Family, made famous by Calvin Coolidge, the 30th President of the United States. This store was built years before a home for the Coolidge Family was built attached at the rear. The attached house was the birthplace of President Calvin Coolidge in 1872, and the building was where after the death of President Warren Harding, Col. John Coolidge, Calvin’s father, a notary public, administered the presidential oath of office to his son in the family dining room at 2:47 a.m. on August 3, 1923. The old house and store are preserved by the State of Vermont as a living museum to President Coolidge and his family.

The Coolidge homestead in Plymouth is well preserved and managed, and is a nice place to visit. Coolidge family members still reside in the area and I met a few of them on a recent trip to the area. Also, President Coolidge’s surviving son lived in historic Farmington, Ct, where Silent Cal was a frequent visitor.

That would be pretty early for frame construction in New England.
