St. Johnsbury was awarded a Preservation Grant to support the renovation of the iconic building

Following the grand opening of the Caplan’s Building on Aug. 10, Northern Express Care of St. Johnsbury was awarded a Preservation Grant to support the renovation of the iconic building. The Freeman Foundation, in partnership with the Preservation Trust of Vermont, has granted $50,000 to support the building’s historic preservation efforts. This recognition comes after the successful completion of the renovation, which maintained the original storefront facade and incorporated the building’s historic elements, including hardwood floors, vintage signage, and a history wall in the reception area.  The recent renovation, assisted by the Preservation Grant, made possible by a partnership between the Freeman Foundation and the Preservation Trust of Vermont, has breathed new life into the Caplan’s Building. The preservation efforts have ensured the retention of its unique character while offering a modern, functional space.
