This building was the site of the former federal building in Burlington completed in 1910. The building and land were donated in 1974 to Chittenden County for renovation to a new county courthouse.
The building served as U.S. Army Reserve center from 1963-1972. It remains dedicated to the memory of Charles P. Smith, III and Baily H. Goldberg, U.S. servicemen who gave their lives in battle.
The building was registered as a National Historic Site in November 21, 1972 and renovations were completed on September 29, 1975.
Planning, financing and construction of the project were under the direction of a committee appointed by the Vermont General Assembly in April 1972. During the three and one half years of work the following served on the committee:
