Across from the Town Hall and the Congregational Church, next to the Green in Middlebury, is a former Methodist Church, built in 1832. The building was acquired by the neighboring Westover School in 1923. Inside, the pulpit was replaced by a colonial revival fireplace. It was used as a student “tea bureau” until 1932, then as the school library from 1935 to 1984. Now known as Hilliard House, it is used by the school for its alumnae and development departments and to house the school archives.
Former Methodist Church, Middlebury (1832)
Would greatly appreciate any information regarding Rev. Wooster, Methodist minister whose church originally was replaced by your library, I believe. I am his gr.gr (etc.?) granddaughter. Thank you for whatever consideration you can give this request.
