One of the best examples of a temple-front Greek Revival house in the state of Vermont is the Four Columns Inn, formerly the Kimball-Benedict House, in Newfane. The house was constructed in 1832 for General Pardon T. Kimball (1797-1873), a cattle-broker, general of the state militia and later, a state senator. Kimball made a name for himself locally as he donated much of his money to social causes, from a local almshouse to other charitable organizations. Kimball died in 1873 after falling from his carriage. 

Situated behind the Windham County Court House, the building's four iconic Greek columns echo those of the famous building across the way. Above the columns and behind a balustrade is the balcony which was once a flower conservatory. 

From 1965-9, the house and accompanying barn were converted to an inn. Since that time, it has been known as the Four Columns Inn, so-named in honor of the four monumental Ionic columns that dominate the house’s facade and tie it to the courthouse across the way.
