If you're aware of the works and legacy of Augustus Saint Gauden, you may remember that it was Charles Beaman, a New York City lawyer and patron of the arts, whose friendship with Saint Gauden brought the artist to Cornish in 1885. The farm, dating to the 1770s, was bought by Beaman in 1882 and renamed Blow-Me-Down Farm after the nearby brook. Beaman immediately began building his "Blowmedown" cottage, a three story barn, and continually improved the farm adding several buildings and houses. He developed orchards and gardens and had considerable livestock. He also bought the land to the east that is now the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site. Beaman leased this property to Augustus Saint-Gaudens and his family, who came to Cornish for the first time in 1885 at Beaman's invitation. Beaman's real estate investments and his work attracting artists to the area was key to the creation of the Cornish Art Colony. The Blow-Me-Down Farm property was eventually purchased by the Saint-Gaudens Memorial, a non-profit operating partner of the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site. In 2010 the 42.6-acre Blow-Me-Down Farm was transferred to the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site. A local farmer grows corn and hays the fields. The performing arts center has a large circus tent and ample grounds for both indoor and outdoor concerts. While the original farmstead and original auxiliary buildings are being totally renovated, the place serves as both a historic place and a concert venue.

In 1834, a doctor hired two of the masons to build his house in what is described as "snecked ashlar" construction, in which plates of stone are affixed to a rubblestone wall. It was followed by a series of other buildings, most of which were also residences, although there was also a church and school also built of stone. This type of construction is apparently rare in the United States, but it is found on about 50 surviving buildings in Vermont. The highest concentration of them is on the north side of Chester Depot village along Vermont Route 103, and is known as the Stone Village. The district buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, and by the way, these stone structures are still inhabited to this day, which speaks to the amazing quality of construction, design and workmanship !!
