Everett Mansion Turret Section a Fitting Place for SVC President's Office (Bennington, VT Architecture)

 

Everett Mansion turret housed SVC president's office.

SVC's halls of education were shepherded from the turret portion of the Everett Mansion. The bottom floor housed the President's Meeting Room (PMR) while the Office of the President was upstairs. 

Fit for royalty, the imposing turret space was an appropriate setting for the leader of SVC to hold high profile meetings, contemplate the next academic degree program, or simply take a moment of refuge from an exceedingly demanding job.

Although they were never officially given the title President, we recognize their contributions and thank them for their leadership" (New Challenges, New Opportunities.
