Raised in the mid-80s and located in Brattleboro, Vermont, this giant timberframe structure has room for twelve businesses and was the largest structure Bensonwood had ever built up until that time. It was also the first building Bensonwood designed by computer. The 120-ft.-long long timberframed walls were built on the ground and then raised via two cranes lifting simultaneously.
