I am fascinated by the way buildings are remodeled, recycled,
repurposed...whatever you'd like to call it. The former Jonesville
Academy is now a private home. The Jericho Corners School is now
the town office building. Jericho's widely recognized Red Mill has
been a repair shop, a florist's shop, a preschool, and a gift shop
since its career as a flour mill ended. The buildings of the former
Fort Ethan Allen have been made into residences, offices, a nursing
home, television studios, and who knows what else.
Here in Chittenden County you will find at least one building
that has served its community as a church, as part of a school (gym
and lunchroom), and, now, as its library. You're going to pay it a
visit to search for stage one. Point of possible interest of no
importance to the puzzle: If you look at the northwest corner,
you'll find a benchmark embedded in the library's foundation.
Perhaps you collect these, too.
Then you will be off on the second part of your search to see
how some farmland has been recycled, reused, or repurposed.
Congratulations to co-FTFers mwein, catoz, and crowbait--and my
thanks to them for their patience and help in getting through my
first couple of puzzles.
