History:
The E.J. Bullock Building (circa 1890) is a landmark building located on Main Street in Readsboro. The three story wood structure is in the Second French Empire Style. Over the years, the building was first a grocery and dry goods store and continued as a retail operation. But over the years it also housed residents, a movie theater, was home to both the Mason and Order of the Eastern Star, and numerous community events such as school graduations.
Readsboro Hometown Redevelopment Inc. (RHRC)
In 2004 a group of Readsboro residents came together to form Readsboro Hometown Redevelopment Inc.; in 2006 this group evolved into a non-profit organization (501 (c) 3, necessary to make the restoration effort of the E.J. Bullock Building eligible for grants and to make private donations tax deductible; on November 9, 2009, the Readsboro Hometown Redevelopment, Inc., (RHRC), purchased the building through generous grants and private donations, and has an easement agreement with Preservation Trust of Vermont.
