• Birth	1 Oct 1767	Norwich, New London, CT   [1, 2, 3]
  Note	Lavius resided in Middlebury, VT. He had several business ventures in Middlebury. None of his business ventures had spectacular success. He had a long and very active association in the Masonic Order. His outstanding success was as an architect and builder of churches. Several still stand (1977) as monuments of his skill in architectural design and craftsmanship. Old First Church (Congregational) on Monument Avenue,Bennington, VT., is the oldest church organization in Vermont,dating from 1672. The present church designed by Lavius Fillmoreand built 1805-06 is considered one of the most beautiful in the state, and because of its historical associations has been named by the State Legislature as Vermont's Colonial Shrine. Another church built by Lavius, of somewhat similar design, and still in use and in good state of preservation, is the Congregational Church of Middlebury, VT. Flanked by a lawn and stately elm trees it presents an attractive sight for both visitors and photographers.
