The Pavilion (Vermont)

The offices of two other elected statewide officials, the attorney general and the state treasurer, are housed in the Pavilion along with the Agency of Administration and the Vermont Historical Society and its museum.

Shortly after construction Davis sold the hotel to Mahlon Cottrill who greatly enlarged the building, rebuilding it in the Greek Revival style.

An increase in legislators willing to commute, by car, from home to the state house, contributed to the hotel's steady decline.

The west and south exterior façades are academic copies of the original building, faithful except for the missing chimneys and cast-iron cresting along the mansard roof.

The entry foyer on State Street and an adjacent reception room recreate the building's original ornate French Second Empire style interiors complete with polychrome stencilling, period artwork, and furnishings.

A ceremonial office for the governor is provided in the State House, and is used on a near daily basis during legislative sessions.
