Since Burlington was first settled over two centuries ago it has seen the establishment of a rich historic and architectural legacy, much of which has been lost. The Strong and State Theaters, St. Paul's Cathedral, Converse School, Cathedral High School, and a neighborhood lost to urban renewal are just of few of the landmarks that still live within the memories of many who grew up in the Burlington area. The industrial waterfront, the clubhouses of the Lake Champlain Yacht Club, and the Overlake Estate are now a distant memory. Local historian Robert Blanchard reveals the stories of how these and over sixty other lost treasures came to be built, their roles in the city's life, and how they met their end.
