The University of Vermont building located at 151 South Prospect Street is called the Bittersweet House. It is located on the southwest corner of the intersection of Main and South Prospect. It is an east-facing two-and-a-half story block. It has a three bay facade, with a one-bay entry porch in the center of the facade. The southern end of the house is a one-and-a-half story wooden recessed wing with a covered porch. The Bittersweet House has an extensive history ranging from an early 19th century convenience store to most recently serving as the administrative offices for the interdisciplinary environmental programs at the University of Vermont. It has functioned in the Burlington community as a boarding house, a hub for university students and the home of a Burlington author and political figure. Most of all, it has been standing for over two-hundred years and continues to be a vital part of the University and greater Burlington area. †
