Calvin Coolidge Room

Inspired by architect David Seller’s vision of creating a second-floor balcony, an important element of Vermont village public life, the Calvin Coolidge Room balcony could be just the place from which to exhort your followers to a spirited debate of current political issues. Designed by Duncan Syme of Warren, Vermont once associated with the local Prickly Mountain gang, the Calvin Coolidge room is the kind of handsome lodging in which President Coolidge, a Vermonter, grew up. Coolidge (b. 1872 – d. 1933) was born in Plymouth, Vermont. 

The muted tones of the large mural are reminiscent of old daguerreotype, designed to show the historical precedents of the balcony. The muralist, Sarah-Lee Terrat, was asked to make the event intentionally ambiguous. The interior is an amalgam of the type of architectural interiors of a rural Vermont farmhouse with touches of federal symbols that were a part of his presidential life. 

The room has a king-size, four-poster Sheraton bed and a hidden door, which leads to a modern bathroom featuring a marble walk-in shower and a deep jetted tub. The wide, columned porch is extra popular for watching the Town of Warren’s world-renowned Independence Day parade. And a blazing wood stove, not unlike the one in Coolidge’s boyhood home, adds warmth in winter.

The Sheraton bed is a faithful copy including its use of several different kinds of wood that are stained to match the cherry posts to create a unified look.
