White River Junction, Vermont

The Tip Top Building is a 45,000 square foot (4,200 m²) arts and creative business center located in downtown White River Junction, Vermont. The building is actually a complex of several buildings dating from the 1880s, when the Smith Baking Company operated it as a commercial bakery. In 1910, the Vermont Baking Company purchased Smith Baking Company and erected what is now the center of the complex. Several additions were made over decades, primarily covered loading docks to protect delivery trucks from weather and a garage to repair trucks. Ward Baking company purchased the complex and ran the bakery until 1974 when it closed. The property changed hands several times in the next 25 years as it was used for a variety of industrial purposes, motor rewinding being the final use. In 2000, Matt Bucy, a White River Junction, Vermont resident, purchased the complex with the help of a group of investors. He was a former engineer with New England Digital (a now-defunct pioneer in the synthesizer and digital audio industries), and a Yale-trained architect. Initially, Bucy envisioned an arts and media center with studios for artists and some larger spaces for internet and media companies. A proposed Dartmouth Media Institute, an offshoot of Dartmouth College, conceived by composer Jon Appleton (who was also the founder of New England Digital) and funded by some prominent corporations, was envisioned as the media anchor. The building was located directly across the street from a major Verizon regional switching facility, which made it a desirable location for those in need of high-speed telecommunications links. After September 11 and the collapse of the internet bubble, plans for high tech companies and the Institute dissolved, forcing a replanning of the building into smaller, more affordable spaces that individuals could rent. This strategy worked and by February 2003 most of the building was leased to artists and small creative businesses, including a large number of healing arts practitioners, and a restaurant. In 2004, the building was used as an example of the burgeoning "creative economy" in a conference held in Woodstock, Vermont.

The village serves as a bedroom community for nearby Dartmouth College. West Lebanon was the site of Lebanon's first settlement in 1761. The village later developed into a regional hub for rail transport, although at that time it was better known to travelers as Westboro. By the 1950s, however, the rail industry had shrunk significantly. The rail service through West Lebanon was eventually terminated, and the village of White River Junction, Vermont, across the Connecticut River, took over most of the remaining services. Today commerce has replaced transportation as the basis of the economy, and West Lebanon serves as the commercial hub for a U.S. micropolitan area of over 220,000 people.

The Tilden Ladies' Seminary, also known as the Tilden Female Seminary, was dedicated on September 19, 1855, in West Lebanon, New Hampshire, United States. The school was named after William Tilden, who was born in West Lebanon and became rich in New York City through his business, the manufacture and export of varnish. Instruction took place in a school on a hill above the Connecticut River. The four-story brick school for girls was notable in that, unlike the typical private school started by an individual and held in the founder's home, it was chartered by the legislature of New Hampshire and occupied a purpose-built building. In the period leading up to the time of the seminary's founding, the education of young women often involved boarding schools that did little to educate young women beyond needlework, music, and other abilities meant to prepare them for life, which meant attracting a husband.: 139  Academies or seminaries such as the Tilden Ladies' Seminary were established to raise academic standards, which some did. The 1870 promotional catalog of the school explained its mission: "This Seminary aims to provide, at a moderate expense, excellent and special advantages for the finished, practical and ornamental education of Young Ladies.": 18  The school closed in 1890 due to low enrollment.
