Originally built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1935, the Stone Hut on Mount Mansfield served as a warming shelter for hikers and skiers enjoying Vermont’s highest peak. In late 2015, a fire gutted the historic structure, raising urgent questions about preservation. Through a remarkable collaborative effort led by the Vermont Forests, Parks, and Recreation in partnership with Donald P Blake Jr., Inc. and Northern Architects, the Stone Hut was thoughtfully rebuilt and reopened less than a year later. This talk explores the hut’s layered history, and its post-fire reconstruction from a member of the design team.
This talk is presented as part of our Spring 2026 Speaker Series. All talks are free and open to the public, and take place Wednesday evenings from 6:30 – 8 pm. No registration required, just drop by. Join us in person or online via livestream on our YouTube channel.
