Charles Marsh Law Office

The Charles Marsh Law Office is a historic building at 72 Hartland Hill Road (formerly Pleasant Street) in Woodstock, Vermont.

Now a private residence, this moved and altered structure, built about 1797, is the oldest surviving example of a detached law office in the state.

The building is finished in wooden clapboards, and the main block is a post-and-beam structure fashioned out of hand-hewn timbers.

George Perkins Marsh became well known as a politician and diplomat, and for his early writings on conservation and preservation of open spaces.
