North Pownal House Held as Historic School Site and Gardens
The old North Pownal house once served as a school until a new building replaced it. Alfred Lamberton owns the site now and plans to clear debris and rebuild. Iris, roses, and rock garden plants drew visitors to Valley View Gardens run by Mrs Olive Chenaille who sold to Lamberton in 1958. Lions club actions include fundraising for conventions in 1970 and nominations for club offices. The property’s history includes owners Macomber, Lohnes, Chenaille, and Lamberton, and legends of haunting by a former resident. Tourist interest grew with early motor cars guiding visitors to the landmark.
