Where can you find the history of the Highgate Manor formerly known as The Mayfair House in Vermont?
The "Highgate Manor" and "The Mayfair House" are actually 2 separate places. The "Highate Manor" was originally built by cpt Steve Keyes, who along with his family are buried in the grave yard of the Episople church in Highgate Falls. The "Mayfair House" was actaully across the park from the manor and was the residence of Steve Keyes' parents.
Dr John (?) Baxter took ownership of the manor around 1870 where he took up practice. DR Baxter is alos buried in the grave yard behinfd the church in Highgate Falls.
After the death of Dr. Baxter the building was taken over by Philip Schmitt who turned the Manor into a vacation resort (1920's). When the business boomed, he needed more space so he expanded the business into the homestead across the park, calling it the "Mayfair House" also known as the "Manor Annex". Also at that time a new building was built next to the "Mayfair House" for hosting large gatherings. The "Mayfair House" and reception hall burnt to the ground in the 50's.
During the 1960's an addition was built on the North side of the Manor, which was used as a reception fall. When that business failed the Manor was sold and turned into appartments.
During the Mid-late 70's the reception hall was converted and used as a disco called the "1818 Manor"
