James R. Langdon (1813-1895) was one of the most prominent merchants in Montpelier during the latter half of the nineteenth century. Building on his father’s successful career as a storekeeper, Langdon operated the grist mill at the falls on the Winooski and later became president of Montpelier National Bank. He was instrumental in the extension of the Central Vermont Railroad through Montpelier and invested in the rapidly expanding granite business. At the end of his career he designed a new shopping district in Montpelier on Langdon Street, which was completed after his death. -- https://www.innatmontpelier.com/history/
