The lot on which the homestead stands is rectangular in shape and has
a frontage of about 210 feet on the northeasterly side of the village

depth to contain about 17,850 square feet, A considerable open space
lies beyond the northwesterly boundary of about 85 feet, a small cheese
factory and sales room belonging to John Coolidge being operated about
300 feet up the h i l l to the west, A line of trees and fencing separates
the homestead lot from a field to form the boundary of about 210 feet
on the northeast at the rear of the main house, ell and carriage barn.
..A fence on the southeast about 85 feet in length separates the homestead
lot from a corner lot containing the Wilder House, which is operated
for the Vermont Board of Historic Sites as a hospitality and luncheon
center.
