Burlington Public Library

Straight ahead is the Burlington Public Library. Started 1868 by Grimes and friends as a subscription library. The current Library opened 2006. This library is heated and cooled by a Geo Thermal System. This library is not a Carnegie Library and never was. It was and is privately funded.

On the drivers side are some of the oldest houses in Burlington. This is a group of four side-gable, two-story, brick row-houses. The two center row-houses appear to have been originally constructed, with adjacent row-houses to the north and south then constructed within the 1840s as well. The three row houses to the north retain their original three bay configuration, with a newer brick façade on the south row house at 610. The roofs retain portions of the connected double brick chimneys, reflecting the Federal style. The brick houses sit on stone foundations.
