Of Note:

The home is depicted in Luigi Lucioni’s etching “Route 7A” and a signed etching can be seen in the foyer. In 1946, Maxwell House Coffee advertisements featured Lucioni’s illustration of the 1812 House captioning it “Like the warm red farmhouse and cool blue-green mountains of Vermont, Maxwell House Coffee is part of the American scene.”

Luigi Lucioni was named “painter laureate of Vermont” by Life Magazine and his famed paintings of Vermont scenes have been awarded distinguished prizes in contemporary American Art. Lucioni’s works are now held in many museums including the Metropolitan, the Whitney, the High Museum in Atlanta, the Library of Congress, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
