Jeudevine Memorial Library |
|
|
Malvina Jeudevine gave the town of Hardwick $20,000 to build the library as a memorial to her husband, Alden and son, Cornelius, who were both deceased. It was dedicated in 1897. The inside is as lovely as the outside with golden-oak woodwork and nine stained-glass windows. It has a slate roof and two distinctive eye-brow windows. Though it has a Victorian flare, it is now up-to-date with Internet connections for the public. |

The elegant Jeudevine Memorial Library was one
of the finest works of Vermont architect, Lambert Packard who also designed
the Fairbanks Museum in St. Johnsbury and the Billings Museum at UVM. The
style is Richardsonian Romanesque built with dark brownstone from the
quarries of Libby, Massachusetts. Only its foundation is made from the local
granite stone of the Woodbury quarries.
