The original church, built in 1876, was razed for a new parish hall. (Holy Trinity Episcopal Church)
|
 The first Episcopal church in Swanton, Vt., was demolished this month.
Built in 1876, the American Gothic church was in they way of a new parish hall.
The congregation voted to tear down the building for a new one adjacent to the 1909 marble church used for services.
A local inn keeper wanted to move the building to save it, but church officials wanted to stay on schedule to complete the building by next summer.
The National Trust twice named
the State of Vermont to its list of America's 11 Most Endangered
Historic Places, in 1993 and 2004.
