With a loud gasp, Charlie woke up from his slumber. His breaths were slow, and became calmer as the seconds past. With the nightmare over, it took him not long to gain his bearings. He was in his bed, not in the giant quicksand he saw in his dream. The window beside them was open, and a calm breeze came through. Beside Charlie was Sasha, fast asleep. He could not miss the drool by the side of her lips. It made him smile for the while. She was really beautiful and innocent at the moment, and it took Charlie’s breath away. Still feeling out of place from the dream, Charlie got from his bed, and walked to the bathroom.

With the door shut, Charlie gazed closely at his reflection. He felt repulsive. From his face, to his bare chest, to his boxers. He sighed softly to himself, and shook his head. Christ….

When Sasha woke up from a sudden noise, she saw Charlie all dressed as if he was going out. Although tired, Charlie could see her confusion. “Where you goin Charlie? Its late babe.” Charlie hesitated for a moment, then spoke out softly. “I’m gonna go for a walk. Clear my head. Would you like to join me?” Charlie hoped she’d say no, but he felt right to ask. Sasha mumbled and rested back in her comfy position. “No way. Nuh uh. Don’t be long kay?” Charlie smiled as he turned to make way down the stairs, but he heard Sasha call out to him. Charlie turned and saw her smiling in her bed. “Love you.” She said quietly. Charlie was silent, then smiled back his response.

The moonlight lit the streets well enough to entertain Charlie on his walk to nowhere. With lots of thoughts on his mind, he had no idea how to keep his sanity. He wished the wind blowing in his face would wash all his sorrows away, or the night sky swallow him whole. He saw a cat walk past a garbage can, a ribbon blow across the street, and a motorbike being parked by a house. There was so much to see now, but so little to take in. He was now beginning to wish he had brought his mp3 player with him. Before Charlie could process another thought he heard someone call his name.

“Charlie bro!”

Charlie turned and saw his friend Brophy coming towards him. Beside him was an asian girl. Charlie knew her, for he saw them together a couple of times already. It was enough to get him on edge. Charlie waved back and continued walking. He didn’t know what was going on behind him now.

A half hour later, Charlie was passing through some bushes that led him to a Cliffside. The moon was clear above him now, and the wind was forever stronger. It was perfect. Suicide Rock was its name, inspired from the many attempts and depressing thoughts Charlie had in the past. The last time he came here was when he was with….

“Bruh!”

Charlie turned and saw Brophy again. This time he was alone. “Where’s the broad?” Charlie asked in a sour tone.  Brophy punched Charlie lightly on the shoulder. “Hey, the broad has a name, and she went home. We were just doing a midnight walk.” Charlie nodded to himself and sat down on the hard ground. Brophy sat beside him taking out a beer for the each of them. Charlie was about to question Brophy for it, but Brophy didn’t want any of it.

The two friends sat together getting buzzed, and talked of life. It had been a while since Charlie and Brophy had been together, so they had a lot to share. Well, Brophy did anyways. “Charlie, seriously  bro you’ve been acting anti-social again. Depression on your tail again? We can take him!” Charlie shook his head, and put the bottle aside. Slowly but surely, without any warning, a tear fell his cheek. Brophy didn’t miss it, and deep down he became all the more curious. It was weird. One moment he was out of bed with the love of his life, and the next thing he knew he was outside about to cry. Brophy rested his arm on Charlie’s shoulder. “Life blues huh?” Charlie brushed his friends arm aside and drank another gulp. “I hate my life. I hate all these people around me, I hate worrying every day, and I hate…..I hate trying to trust people. I hate…..I hate being me….” Brophy laughed, but it didn’t bother Charlie. The booze was getting to him. “Charlie, you and me are soooooo much a like. I tell you this so many times. Bruh, we’re in this together right? I mean come on, we have our moments but we got to look on the brightside. We have Nujabes, we have music, we have sweet hunnies to inspire, and…..lots of other stuff. I know life is confusing, trust me mate, but we’re all not that bad as people. It’s just the crazy lot.” Charlie wiped a tear from his face and was quiet. He heard a faint rumble of thunder in the distance and figured a storm was coming. It excited him. “We just need to change somehow, bruh. If only it was that simple right?” Charlie nodded. “If only it was that simple Brohpy…..”

When the time was right to depart, Brophy and Charlie got up and took their bottles with them. Charlie took one last glimpse at the moon, and smiled to himself. If only my purpose was so simple and clear. He stood there for a moment hoping the moon or something or someone would reply, but nothing came his way. All he could think of now past the depressing struggles he had his head, was how Sasha looked in her bed fast asleep and how she was someone he could share his mind with. Someone that beautiful.

Charlie and Brophy waved their goodbyes, and Charlie headed home. To his beautiful love, or his fated oblivion. Another story for another time.

        I'm writing this 20 minutes after having my first MRI brain scan. This experience was something that I felt was noteworthy. To myself at least. I wonder if anyone else had the same experience while getting an MRI scan. I wondered if anyone had ever experienced what I was experiencing.

        Right before I walked  into the scanning room, I reached at my neck for the necklace that I've worn everyday for the past 8 years, only to find that it wasn't there. Gold isn't what most people think of when someone says "metal", but it is in fact a metallic element, so it had to be removed.
        My glasses were removed as soon as I got situated on the table. Everything after that was a literal "blur". Earlier conversation with my physician led me to expect music. Either through headphones or earphones. Regular music. The headphones didn't fit because of the situation with the head brace and padding, so "ear plugs" were snugly put in. That's what the physician called them, but many people call "earphones" "ear plugs" so I was still expecting music.  It wasn't until the end of the scan that I would realize this wasn't regular music...
        I made it a point to stay really still. My head was put in an awkward position, and my body was slightly shifted to the right. The physician gave me an emergency ball to squeeze in case of, well, an emergency. I folded my right arm over my stomach and held it in that hand. Firmly. In my mind, the ball was only to be used by wimps, or someone who was incidentally having their brains fried and melted. After what felt like a couple if minutes, I considered maybe I fit into one of those categories.
        Left lying, waiting for the music to start, I contemplated the possibility that the music may be too loud for my ears. My ears are pretty sensitive, and anything above three notches would probably startle me. I felt myself tensing up, annoyed by the fact that she didn't even question my personal tolerance level.
        Without warning, I was slowly pushed into the narrow tube. Though I was dreading the onset of loud, unbearable music, I forced myself to promise I wouldn't use the alert ball for something so stupid. For pride's sake, I guess.
        A few seconds went by. Silence. Then a few more. The machine started to produce a low rumbling sound. It couldn't have been music because the noise was awful and the total opposite of soothing. I almost completely ruled out the possibility of listening to music. Then I started to consider that maybe this rumbling sound WAS the music.
        More time went by. The sound switched pitches and patterns. The machine shook at the commencement of each new set. There was even a time where the sounds mimicked outer space "beeps" and "boops", and people with wood clappers playing "Simon Says". I thought maybe these weren't machine sounds. Maybe I was just being unappreciative of the music that was given to me. My body was still and my eyes opened and closed as they pleased. Bored, I began to focus on what I was feeling... Terrible idea.
        The scanning seemed to come in stages. In each stage my body felt a new feeling. When the first stage began, my body just felt stiff. I knew the more I moved, the longer it would take. I focused on my hearing and touch. The radio waves were felt buzzing in the base of my neck and head. Heat was felt too. Placebo effect, probably. I know. But at the time, my mind was telling me that my brain was being fried by the wicked machine. The low rumble continued, loud and steady for minutes. I just knew this wasn't normal. Then again, I also know that I occasionally over-think things, and make myself paranoid with thoughts of unfortunate scenarios, like the ones in "1,000  Ways To Die".
        I thought about the emergency ball in my right hand. It wasn't there. My hand wasn't there. And neither was my arm. I knew it was all there, I just couldn't FEEL them.  That's definitely a placebo effect too. But then the humming switched up. The sound broke into 2-second parts with 1-second spaces in between. In the spaces, silence. And in the humming, words. Unmistakable speech, blanketed with code.
        The second stage was even more interesting. The sounds came from different directions in different tones. I could feel which part of my head was being scanned. At one point, a pulsating, mid-toned buzz resonated from above. My eyes closed, and I could SEE the waves. I could FEEL the waves drawing me in. I got flash backs of things that have never happened to me before. Grim, vivid images and visions. There were beeping sounds, then clanking sounds, then humming sounds again. My body felt weightless. My head was heavy. Parts of my body twitched. I was being probed and possessed, undoubtedly.
        Finally, peace. The last stage happened so quickly. I only remember being calm; mind and body still. I could only feel my heartbeat. The blood pumped through my chest out to the arms and legs. My brain shook with the frequencies of the waves, and sent me to sleep. Destination not reached.
        Everything stopped. Not like it does in between buzzing or in between tones and rhythms. It just, well, stopped. A voice greeted me and told me I was done. With my head still facing fixed straight, and my glasses off, I tried to look down. And what I saw wasn't what I expected...
        Black robe? Black hair? This isn't the physician who greeted me, and talked with me, and got me situated in the machine. This was someone else. I was sat up and was told that I might be a little dizzy. I said I wasn't. I didn't think I was. But I probably was. The emergency ball was taken out of my hand. Only then did I realize the subtle death-grip that I had on it. I put my glasses on and took the ear PLUGS out. It WASN'T music. They WERE in fact ear plugs.
        My senses are clear now. (Except for my sense of direction). Now I was positive this wasn't the person who brought me in. I was guided out of the scanning room feeling lost. The original physician was sitting behind the control center. The physician who mislead me into thinking music would be played for me. The physician who started all of the confusion that happened while I was in the tube. The physician who indirectly convinced me that I was being ungrateful for the odd futuristic "music" that was being played for me. In my hand, the ear plugs; her sly accomplice. Walking out, I still felt the buzzing. And I still heard the hum. And even though I know I was mislead, something in my mind, in the back of my head, still tells me that I was probed...

title: Probed

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Summarize the narrator's experiences in the MRI machine.

answer: The narrator underwent an MRI scan and found that the low sound emitted by the machine was not music as expected, but a rumble and pattern of tones and rhythms. While lying in the machine, the sounds changed and gave off speech and visions. In the final stage, the sounds stopped abruptly. The narrator believed that they had been probed while they were in the machine, though they are not sure whether this was intentional.

text: In addition to the odd and unexpected sounds the MRI machine made, the narrator also noticed that the physician that put him into the machine is not the one that pulled him out. He felt the radio waves in each part of his body as the scan progressed, and he also lost connection with his right hand at one point. All of these things added to the sensation that he was being probed. Include the other experiences in the response as well.

While lying in the machine, the sounds changed and gave off speech and visions. The narrator also noticed that the physician that pulled him out was not the same one that put him in, he felt radio waves throughout his body as the scan progressed and he lost feeling in his right arm. In the final stage, the sounds stopped abruptly. The narrator believed that they had been probed while they were in the machine, though they are not sure whether this was intentional.

text: The narrator was misled as it relates to his experience in the MRI machine. Remove the last part of the second sentence, it does not reflect the story.

In the final stage, the sounds stopped abruptly. The narrator believed that they had been probed while they were in the machine.

answer: They expected music and found out it was not likely to be the case. They felt the radio waves coming in and buzzing in their head, they then felt heat and started to feel lightheaded.  They started to feel panicked as they imagined the machine melting their brain and killing them. Then they caught a glimpse of a black robe and a figure before their view was obscured. Then after a procedure (they do not know what) the experience made them feel lightheaded. All in all, their experience was presented as creepy and overwhelming. Even after all the sound and effects stopped to come, the narrator still wondered if they were being probed.

text: After the MRI scan was complete, the narrator was removed from the MRI tube by a physician with black hair and a black robe. He notices that this is a different physician from the one that put him into the MRI tube and misled him about what to expect. Change the sentence about to 'black robe' to reflect the change in physicians.

All in all, the narrator's experience was presented as creepy and overwhelming and he left the MRI machine wondering if he was being probed.

answer: The narrator went into the MRI scanner expecting regular music, but instead experienced a low rumbling sound that had a unique pattern and switched pitches. As they lay still while being scanned, they felt as if their senses were being probed by the machine. At one point, they even heard speech coming across the sound. Their head and body experienced sensations they had never experienced before, making them feel slightly dizzy.

answer: The narrator had never had an MRI before, but they were familiar with the procedure. They had to remove high-metal jewelry and all metal from their ears. They were also given two kinds of emergency balls: one for a real emergency and one just in case the music is too loud and startling. They were put on a table and slowly pushed into the MRI machine. The inside of the machine was small and the noise produced by it was largely unpleasant and in such frequencies that it could fry their brain. This made the narrator anxious. One of the reasons the narrator was anxious was because he was not sure if he could use the emergency ball for the case of the noise being unpleasant and wanted to use any opportunity to be brave. Anyways, he did not use the emergency ball.

text: The narrator was only given one emergency ball, and not two. Change the third sentence of the response to reflect only one ball and the narrator decided to use it only in major emergencies.

answer: She's led to believe there will be music, but there isn't any. She takes off all metal on her and holds on to the emergency ball given to her. She resolves into thinking she won't use it. When the machine starts, the weird noises initially feel like strange music until she realizes it's not. As the machine goes through its phases, the narrator starts feeling strange vibrations in her body and feels like her brain is frying. She realizes these are only in her head. In the second phase, she can feel the parts of her being scanned, seeing visions and flashbacks of events that never happened. By the time the third phase rolls in, she's sure she was probed. That feeling doesn't go away after getting out of the machine.

text: In addition to all of the experiences listed in the response, the narrator also notices that the physician that put her into the machine is not the one who pulled her out. She feels misled because the expectations of an MRI scan was mot clearly defined beforehand. Include this experience in the response as well.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about Denisova's political career?

answer: Denisova has had a long political career, beginning as a teacher and moving on to various post within the Crimean provincial law courts and the Crimean government. In 2009 she was elected Minister of Labour and Social Policy under Yulia Tymoshenko's second government and in 2014 she was re-elected to parliament for the second time. In 2018, she was elected Commissioner for Human Rights in Ukraine.

text: Denisova was elected Minister of Labour and Social Policy in 2007, not 2009.

refinement: Denisova has had a long political career, beginning as a teacher and moving on to various post within the Crimean provincial law courts and the Crimean government. In 2007 she was elected Minister of Labour and Social Policy under Yulia Tymoshenko's second government and in 2014 she was re-elected to parliament for the second time. In 2018, she was elected Commissioner for Human Rights in Ukraine.

answer: Denisova has had a political career primarily in Crimea, serving as Minister of Economy, Minister of Finance, and head of Treasury Department before becoming Minister of Labor and Social Policy in the Yatsenyuk Government in 2014. She was elected into parliament in both the 2006 and 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary elections, placed 15th on the electoral list of People's Front in the 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election, and was recently elected Commissioner for Human Rights in Ukraine.

answer: Denisova was the Minister of Labor and Social Policy as a member of the Yatsenyuk Government in February 2014. She re-elected into parliament in the 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election. She was elected as Commissioner for Human Rights in Ukraine on March 15, 2018.

text: The answer is missing crucial information. For example, Denisova was not only re-elected into the Ukrainian parliament in 2014, she was also re-elected in 2012.

refinement: Denisova took charge of various finance roles in Crimea from 1998 until 2000. Then she was elected as a deputy to Minister Verkhovna Rada. After the ascendancy of Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko to office in 2007, Denisova became the Minister of Labour and Social Policy. She was re-elected in 2009 and 2014. Her most recent office was as a Commissioner for Human Rights in Ukraine on March 15, 2018.

answer:

In 1998 Denisova became Minister of Economy, Minister of Finance and head of the Treasury Department in the Crimean government. She served in Ukraine's Autonomous Republic of Crimea from 1998 to 2007.

In 2000 Denisova was detained for 24hrs on charges of power abuse. She stated that she was persecuted for refusing to sign a budget document. This case was shut down.

Denisova is a member of Batkivshchina since 2005. She headed the electoral list of Batkivshchina for the 2010 Crimean parliamentary election, but Batkivshchina did not win seats in Supreme Council of Crimea.

answer: In 1998, Denisova became the Minister of Economy and Finances in the Crimean government. She was named Politician of the Year in 2001. She has been a member of Batkivshchina since 2005, and during the 2006 and 2007 parliamentary elections, she was elected as a deputy to the Verkhovna Rada. In 2009, she was ranked the 15th most influential woman in Ukraine. She was re-elected to parliament in 2012. In 2014, she became Minister of Labor and Social Policy in the Yatsenyuk Government and became a founding member of her new party People's Front. In the same year, she was re-elected to the Ukrainian parliament. In 2018, she was elected Commissioner for Human Rights in Ukraine.

text: There is a bit of repetition in the answer - Denisova became Minister of Labor and Social Policy in 2014 and was also re-elected the same year.

The Painter.

A few hours before sunset on the longest day of the year. An artist sat on the peek of a hill, and took a deep breath as he looked at the landscape which was sitting in front of him. He breathed in his surroundings and began to paint.

The people in the city below, distant, were making their way from point A to point B like mice in a maze designed by man, which they were never to escape from. They knew nothing of the humble painter. Although they were unknowingly sharing a profound moment with him.

He saw the world in poetry, art and music. His reality was his only reality, he saw through the many curtains of our little world and he knew who he was.

The artist saw not cars and materials but only vibrant colour, each representing forgotten ideologies in there own right. And he heard only notes of music in the horns and sirens which symbolised so little to so many.

As the sun began to set it, shone a powerful melancholic light across the city, which was toe be subject to immortalising before the moon had risen.

The sun had shone many days before, and would shine many days following, but it would never shine like this again. It was a long moment so perfectly captured, one not observed by any one other than the artist.

As the day began to slide away, the strokes began to get shorter and shorter as the night drew closer, and when the light of the sun had faded to black and darkness engulfed the skyline, he had performed the final stroke.

His final stroke, so profound, releasing his last colourful gift to the world. With it he painted not canvas but the landscape itself. A dark rogue, his final piece, beautiful immortality.

Many would look with unpoetical eyes and sigh, although others would see profound dedication. A dedication and a message to humanity. His last vision perfectly captured, in the landscape on the eisle which stood before him. Finally man could see as he saw. And his body may have been cold and lifeless by midnight, but his last painting contained the best of his years, his warmth, to be found in that captured moment until the end of time.

answer: They are witnesses to the suicide.

text: Many would look with unpoetical eyes and sigh, although others would see profound dedication. A dedication and a message to humanity

answer: The passers-by play an unimportant role in this story. They are essentially just scenery; the artist is only interested in capturing their emotional moment in the landscape. The passers-by are really just there to provide color and depth to the painting. The painting itself is about the painter, not the people down below.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Why does the artist do this?

answer: Because he understands mortality.

text: And his body may have been cold and lifeless by midnight, but his last painting contained the best of his years, his warmth, to be found in that captured moment until the end of time.

answer: The text doesn't really indicate, but it's implied because it's one of his last paintings. Perhaps, the artist kills himself because he has taken one too many drugs.

refinement: His death is the most literal way for him to express himself to people.

answer: The artist does this because he sees the world in a different way and feels compelled to immortalize it.

--Prologue--

	I never wanted this... I thought by leaving Earth I could escape the shitty lot in life I had, but boy was I wrong. I’ve been hopping from colony to colony to for about a year now. First I tried to find some work on several lunar colonies, to no avail. Then I hitched a ride out to Mars on the little credit I had left. I was able to scrape enough money to get to Ceres, where I found work for one of the science research teams there. I really enjoyed Ceres, I could have stayed there for quite a while, but just like everything else that’s ever gone right for me, it was crushed. An experiment involving a miniscule amount of anti-matter while I was off-duty completely destroyed our lab, putting me out of work, thankfully I had made enough off of my research to finally get me to Jupiter. That’s where I’m headed now, to a Jovian Platform, one devoted to science and discovery, one where I will strive.

--The Seventh Column--

	“The Seventh Column will be departing in 10 standard minutes.” announced the robotic voice of the loudspeaker, though I could hardly hear it. It’s loud here on Mars, far different than Ceres, where it was quiet and peaceful. I had to return to Mars to find a ship that could take me to Jupiter, big ships like that never stop at Ceres. The Seventh Column was the cheapest ride I could find, well within my tight budget of 6 billion credits. I already had a job waiting for me on the Jovian Platform Scipio, a well paying job researching anti-matter physics, just like on Ceres. The only difference is that Scipio has real funding, with much better equipment than I could’ve dreamed of on Ceres.

	“The Seventh Column will be departing in 5 standard minutes.”came from the loudspeaker as I checked and made sure I had everything, when I heard footsteps. I was on a fairly empty flight, with plenty of room for everyone to stay away from each other. There was no reason for anyone to be near me, and judging by the number of footsteps, this was a group of people. I looked up, and three men were standing in front of me. Rugged, worn by space travel, they had probably never seen the light of Earth.

	“Are you Isav Re’e?” asked the man on my right, who stood slightly behind the man in the center, who was clearly the leader.

	“Yes, that I am.” I said. “Why?” This wasn’t looking good, they were using one of my old aliases.

	“We’ve been looking for you... You were stupid to come back here.” said the man on my left, who I began to recognize. The tattoo on the right side of his neck gave him away, it was the symbol of the male, with a dot in the center. He was from the Maln Clan, who I worked for briefly before I left Mars the first time. I left on not so pleasant terms, too.

	“Shuttup, Ronin.” said the center man. “Look, Young, we don’t want a mess here. Come with us peacefully and we’ll make sure you aren’t hurt. If you don’t comply then... I can’t guarantee your safety.” I was in a bind, I had less than five minutes so if I left I’d miss the flight, and lose my job on Jupiter, but if I tried to stay, these guys would drag me out by force. I needed to act quickly.

	“Alright, just let me get my things, I’ve got a bag in the back.” I lied. I got up and started walking to the cargo bay, where no-one was stationed.

	“Alright, just hurry up, we don’t got all day.” said Ronin, as they began to follow me back. They had taken the bait, now I just had to reel them in. I did some quick mental predictions and chose the one with the best chances. I reached up and grabbed a large bag, and as I pulled it down I slammed it into Ronin’s face, knocking him out instantly. I dove behind a shelf and grabbed another bag, this one a little smaller, perfect to use with one hand. I waited for the other two to round the corner until I threw the bag at the other cronnie while I tripped the leader. As soon as his head hit the ground I slammed my fist upwards into his nose, killing him. I did the same to Ronin and the other one, and stuffed their bodies in a small nook of an access corridor.

	I got back to my seat as two crew members were coming towards me. They were asking all the passengers about something, tickets I guess. I was still trying to process what had just happened, when they approached me.

	“Excuse me sir, have you seen these three men on the ship?” the crewman, whose I.D. badge read Aman, showed me a Holopane with the image of the three men who attacked me. My face went hot, my head started spinning, but I was able to compose myself.

	“No, why?” I replied.

	“They requested to come see someone on the ship, but we didn’t see them come out.” said the second man, whose I.D. badge read Czevk.

	“Can’t you check the surveillance to see if they did come out?”

	“Afraid not, cameras broken. That’s why we’re asking the passengers. Everyone else said they saw them, but you didn’t, correct?” said Czevk.

	“That’s right, sir.” I replied, I was starting to sweat.

	“Alright, well, I guess they didn’t come this far back. They’re probably hiding somewhere up front.” said Aman.

	“Maybe they slipped by you and you didn’t notice. You guys were preparing to set off right?”

	“Yeah, that’s true...” said Aman looking over at Czevk. “Ah, fuck it, let’s go. I’m ready to get out of here.” He looked back at me, “Thanks for co-operating, Mr.?”

	“Young. Dr. Isais Carson Young.” I replied.

	“Thank you, Dr. Young.” said Aman, who then walked off with Czevk.

	“We apologize for the wait, The Seventh Column will now be departing from Docking Bay 823.B heading for Jupiter’s Orbital Station.” announced the loudspeaker as the ship began to hum. I had grown accustomed to the feeling over the past two years, but it never ceased to please me. It calmed me down so much it was amusing. Nothing like soaring through the vacuum of space at the speed of light to soothe the nerves.

The JERRY E. DICKERMAN HOUSE is an historic house at 36 Field Avenue in the city of Newport, Vermont. Built about 1875 for a prominent local lawyer and customs collector, it is a prominent regional example of residential Second Empire architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[1]

Description and history

The Jerry E. Dickerman House is located in downtown Newport, just north of the Goodrich Memorial Library on the east side of Field Avenue. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a clapboarded exterior and dormered mansard roof, which provides a full third floor. The main facade is three bays wide, with the outer bays housing projecting polygonal window bays with bracketed roofs at each level. The central bay projects slightly, and is capped by a larger facade dormer with a bellcast roof outline surrounding a round-arch balcony door opening. The main entrance is at the ground level of this bay, sheltered by a porch with bracketed posts. The interior of the main section of the house retains much of its original woodwork, despite a mid-20th century conversion to apartments.[2]

The house was built about 1875, and was originally set facing Main Street, which was then lined by similarly fashionable houses of the community's upper class. It was moved to its present location about 1930 to make room for a commercial building, and was converted into apartments in the 1940s or 1950s. Maps of the period show about half a dozen or so Second Empire houses, of which only two are known to survive.[3]

The DERBY HOUSE HOTEL is a historic former hotel building at Main and West Streets in Derby, Vermont. Erected in 1896, it was for many years an important element of the social and commercial life of the small community. Now converted into apartments, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]

Description and history

The former Derby House Hotel stands in the village of Derby Center, at the northwest corner of Main Street (Vermont Route 105) and West Street. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a dormered mansard roof providing space for a full third floor. The main facade is three bays wide, with windows set in surrounds with slightly gabled lintels. The most prominent feature of the building is its two-story porch, which is a near replica of the original, as seen in an early 20th-century photograph. The ground floor porch is open, with square posts that lack bracketing found in the original. A short skirt of angled slats runs around the base. The second-floor porch balustrade has elements in a figure-eight pattern, and there is a spindled valance above. The porch wraps around to the side facing West Street. An ell extends to the rear (west) of the main block.[2]

The hotel was built in 1896 by L.A. Rickard, to meet a demand that was primarily for visitors conducting business in the local industries. This is different than many other 19th-century Vermont hotels, which were built for the tourist trade. This hotel had some of the same trappings as tourist hotels, most notably the porch, which was a common feature on Vermont hotels of the time, and is the only one to survive in the northeastern part of the state. Its business was always somewhat precarious, and it ceased to serve as a hotel after foreclosure in 1932. It was converted into apartments in 1946.[3]
