Lambert Packard

Citizens (r) and Merchants (l) Bank Buildings, St. Johnsbury (1893 and 1894)

Lambert Packard (1832-1906) In 1866 he moved back to Vermont, having been employed as a foreman with E. & T. Fairbanks & Co. in St. Johnsbury. Before long, he also became company architect, and was in charge of all construction at the Fairbanks works. He developed a friendship with Franklin Fairbanks, who had been a partner in the firm since 1856, and served as its president from 1881 to 1895. Through the beneficence of the Fairbanks family, Packard designed most of the town's major buildings.

He worked alone until 1896, when he established a partnership with J. Albert Thorne of Montpelier. They parted ways soon after, but Packard established a new partnership, Packard & Tyrie, circa 1899. His last known commission came in 1904, and he died in 1906.
