Hyde Manor, also known as Hyde's Hotel, is a hotel in Sudbury, Vermont. The motel was primarily used during the summers was founded in 1798. The hotel's activities were exceptional until it was abandoned and designated on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

Tales of Hyde Manor

Hyde Manor was built in the Italian style around 1798. It was sufficiently large, consisting of four-story wood-frame structures. Those who stopped along the path from the stagecoach utilized the building as a tavern. The hotel's structure was well-known for its perspective of the square tower on the building's roof. Those from the elite socioeconomic class visited the hotel site during its heyday to ski, golf, and gamble. The development of the hotel was aided by the upgrading of the road network and the availability of commercial opportunities in the vicinity. The hotel was taken up by Hyde's son, James, who offered a night Yankee ball at the tavern. The hotel's popularity began to grow. In 1862, the hotel caught fire, destroying the structure. The hotel's owner, James Hyde, rebuilt the hotel once more, but this time it was larger and drew more business.

Ravaging Fire

Hotels, seminaries, and a college were among the first social amenities to emerge. Textile demand in the area accelerated the town's growth. Mayor Jacob Barker Ham was elected mayor of the town in 1863, from where he took office. A hall with a magnificent view from afar was built in 1873, but it was later replaced with another hall after it burned down. The hall was built to be a music hall, but it was renovated into the Lewiston District Courthouse between 1999 and 2003.

Hyde Manor caught fire in the 1940s. The annex building was the source of the fire. It took up a large portion of the structure. Because of the world's advancement in modernization in terms of travel, Hyde Manor has lost its significance. Hyde Manor died as a result of these two factors. Hyde's descendants sold the resort in 1962. The resort was completely closed in 1970.

Hyde Manor Ruins

Trees from the surrounding area have begun to take the resort's place. The resort's buildings have weakened as a result of many years of operation, and with time, a fall has occurred. The dark smoked walls that were devoured by the fire outbreak can still be seen. Graffiti artists have found ways to brand their signatures in some areas of the building (though not many). Teenagers sneaking into the building to host weekend parties is a fairly common occurrence. The resort is privately owned, and due to the building's poor condition, the general public is prohibited from trespassing on the property, as evidenced by various signs placed throughout the property.
