* Westminster School, the Dormitory: 1722 – 1730 ( altered, bombed and restored ), the first public work by Burlington, for which Sir Christopher Wren had provided a design, which was rejected in favor of Burlington's, a triumph for the Palladians and a sign of changing English taste.

* Chiswick House Villa, Middlesex: The " Casina " in the gardens, 1717, was Burlington's first essay.

Lord Burlington's garden at Chiswick was one of the first to include garden buildings and ancient statues which were to symbolically evoke the mood and appearance of ancient Rome.

Burlington's first private school, the Burlington Academy, was founded in 1844 as a result of dissatisfaction with the other schools operating at the time.

* William P. Lyon, one of Burlington's first teachers ; later a Justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court

Harriman was the first to approach the Burlington's aging chieftain, the irascible Charles Elliott Perkins.

When Burlington was formed from a part of the Town of Otsego in 1792, Jedediah Peck became Burlington's first Town Supervisor and remained in that job for eight years.

By 1945, Budd had become intrigued with Electro-Motive Diesel ’ s R. Osborne ’ s idea of a dome passenger car, and built the first experimental one in the Burlington's Aurora Shops.

On the second anniversary of the train's famous dash, the original Zephyr was rechristened the Pioneer Zephyr to distinguish it as the first of the Burlington's growing Zephyr fleet.

Drawing on his Pioneer Zephyr experience, in 1936 he led the firm through the design project of the Burlington's Denver Zephyr.

Burlington's waterfront park was developed as a result of urban renewal and flood control projects in the late 1960s and 1970s.

According to Howard Colvin, " Burlington's mission was to reinstate in Augustan England the canons of Roman architecture as described by Vitruvius, exemplified by its surviving remains, and practised by Palladio, Scamozzi and Jones.

It is possible that one purpose of the Villa was as an art gallery, as inventories show more than 167 paintings hanging in situ at Chiswick House in Lord Burlington's lifetime, many purchased on his two Grand Tours of Europe.

The three internal spiral staircases, based on Palladian precedent, were not intended to be accessed by Lord Burlington's guests, and were used only by the house servants ; a dumb waiter was installed in place of the fourth internal staircase.

This was Lord Burlington's attempt to symbolise the Appian Way which led to ancient Rome.

Records at Chatsworth House show that the room was used intermittently as a children's nursery, undoubtedly for Lady Burlington's grand children and subsequently for the children of Georgiana and Elizabeth Foster.

This room was Lord Burlington's studiola or ‘ Drawing Room ’ and originally contained a large table by William Kent which contained many designs by architects such as Andrea Palladio, Inigo Jones, John Webb and Vincenzo Scamozzi, which were ready for inspection.

At the rear of the Summer Parlour was a small china closet for Lady Burlington's most valuable objects.

The poet Alexander Pope ( who had his own Villa with gardens in nearby Twickenham ), was also involved, and was responsible for confirming Lord Burlington's belief that Roman and Greek gardens were largely ' informal ' affairs, with nature ruled by God.

Evidence for this belief was provided through his translation into English of Homer's cornerstones of European literature The Iliad and The Odyssey which provided brief glimpses of Greek gardens which gave validation to Burlington's belief in the naturalistic appearance of Roman gardens.

Immediately behind the ha-ha and positioned between the two Deer Houses was a building known as the Orangery, which, as its name suggests, originally housed Lords Burlington's orange trees over the cold winter period ( some of these trees were once positioned around the perimeter of the Ionic Temple ).

It has also been claimed that Lord Burlington was influenced by Chinese gardens which were largely informal, but the flavor of the Orient was not evoked in Burlington's gardens which were visually classically inspired.

This was possibly due to Burlington's intense dislike of the Gothic style which he regarded as barbaric and backward.

It is doubtless to Burlington's intervention that about this time, before the West Front was finished, the Earl of Malton, as he was now become, commissioned Henry Flitcroft to revise Tunnicliffe's plan there and build the East Front range.

Flitcroft was Burlington's professional architectural ammanuensis — " Burlington Harry " as he was called ; he had prepared for the engravers the designs of Inigo Jones published by Burlington and William Kent in 1727, and in fact Kent was also called in for confabulation over Wentworth Woodhouse, mediated by Sir Thomas Robinson, though in the event the pedestrian Flitcroft was not unseated and continued to provide designs for the house over the following decade: he revised and enlarged Tunnicliffe's provincial Baroque West Front and added wings, as well as temples and other structures in the park.

He resigned the former role in 1716 but held the latter until his death, approving with a wavering signature Burlington's revisions of Wren's own earlier designs for the great Archway of Westminster School.

* ( Burlington House, Piccadilly, London ): Burlington's own contribution is likely to have been restricted to the former colonnade ( demolished 1868 ) In London, Burlington offered designs for features at several aristocratic free-standing dwellings, none of which have survived: Queensbury House in Burlington Gardens ( a gateway ); Warwick House, Warwick Street ( interiors ); Richmond House, Whitehall ( the main building );

This format, with the quarters of the owner at the elevated center of their own world, found resonance as a prototype for Italian villas and later for the country estates of the British nobility ( such as Lord Burlington's Chiswick House, Vanbrugh's Blenheim, Walpole's Houghton Hall, and Adam's Kedleston Hall and Paxton House in Scotland ).

As he rose through the royal architectural establishment, the Board of Works, Kent applied this style to several public buildings in London, for which Burlington's patronage secured him the commissions: the Royal Mews at Charing Cross ( 1731 – 33, demolished in 1830 ), the Treasury buildings in Whitehall ( 1733 – 37 ), the Horse Guards building in Whitehall, ( designed shortly before his death and built 1750 – 1759 ).

His stately furniture designs complemented his interiors: he designed furnishings for Hampton Court Palace ( 1732 ), Lord Burlington's Chiswick House ( 1729 ), London, Thomas Coke's Holkham Hall, Norfolk, Robert Walpole's pile at Houghton, for Devonshire House in London, and at Rousham.

At the rear of the Villa were positioned ' herm ' statues that derive from the Greek god Hermes, the patron of travellers and thus are welcoming figures for all who wish to visit Lord Burlington's gardens ( Lord Burlington's gardens at Chiswick were the most visited of all London villas.

Burlington's Palladio drawings include many reconstructions after Vitruvius of Roman buildings, which Burlington planned to publish.

Burlington's school district merged with Des Lacs ' school district in the late ' 60s to form United Public School District 7 ( United Public School District 7 ), thus Des Lacs High School now serves students living Burlington, and Burlington School the Elementary.

The designation of this room in Lord Burlington's lifetime is unknown, but it appears Lady Burlington occupied this room some time after the death of her last daughter in 1754.

Lord Burlington's grandson, the 2nd Earl of Burlington, would later inherit the Devonshire dukedom as 7th Duke of Devonshire.

The earliest certain European presence in what is now Burlington was in the fall of 1799, when a group of French explorers and missionaries, led by Francis Morgan de Vereceones, made a portage from the Root River to the Fox River, reaching the Fox at about Burlington's present location.

On Lord Burlington's death in 1753, Burlington House passed to the Dukes of Devonshire, but they had no need of it as they already owned Devonshire House just along Piccadilly.

* Burlington's geographic location is closer to Waterdown than Hamilton, and parts of Burlington ( Aldershot + Kerncliff Park ) wrap around the south and east ends of the town.

While he was recuperating, the young Lord Burlington noticed his talent with the pencil, and by 1720 Flitcroft was Burlington's draughtsman and general architectural assistant, surveying at Westminster School for Burlington's dormitory, and superintending at the site at Tottenham House.

Lord Burlington's gardens at Chiswick had a number of these fabriques including the Ionic Temple, Bagnio, Pagan Temple, Rustic House, and two Deer Houses.
