Lambert Packard (1832-1906) [1] was an American architect from St. Johnsbury, Vermont.
He was born in 1832 Coventry, Vermont, to Jefferson Packard. The family moved to Waterford in 1847, where Packard learned the carpenter's trade. At age 15 he left home, working for engineers and architects in Lowell and Lawrence, Massachusetts. By the 1860s, he was in Boston working as a pattern maker. [2] 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. [1]
He worked alone until 1896, when he established a partnership with J. Albert Thorne of Montpelier. [3] 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. [1]
In 1862, Packard married Amanda F. Richardson of Lawrence, Massachusetts. They had three children, two sons and a daughter. [2]
A number of his works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. [4]
