Vermont’s third city
Rutland’s downtown grew fastest after 1850, once the marble business took off; the city’s population tripled between 1850 and 1880, and many of the buildings from those years were built of marble or trimmed with it. Italians with experience in the stone trade came with their families, and from 1869 to 1873 Italian American stoneworkers did much of the work on St. Peter’s Church, using stone quarried on the site. In 1886 the center of the old town incorporated as the village of Rutland, and on November 18, 1892, it became Vermont’s third city. Thomas W. Moloney, an Irish American lawyer, played a major role in winning its charter. The first mayor was John A. Mead, a Civil War veteran and doctor who practiced in Rutland, held the office from 1893 to 1894, and later served as governor of Vermont from 1910 to 1912. Today Rutland is the third largest city in the state, after Burlington and South Burlington.
Downtown
The Rutland Downtown Historic District, with 90 contributing buildings, is the city’s center of government and business, and 108 buildings downtown are on the National Register. The arts flourished here in the 1890s, with the writer Julia Caroline Dorr spurring much of it; her father had built the first Rutland Opera House, and in 1884 she led the group of women who founded the Rutland Free Library. In 1913 George Chaffee built the Playhouse, classical outside and lavish inside. It was renamed the Paramount in 1931 and turned to movies, closed in 1975, and reopened in March 2000 after a local group restored it. The Rutland Free Library itself is in the old federal building and post office, begun in 1856, credited to the architect Ammi B. Young, across Court Street from the Rutland County Courthouse of 1869. They anchor the Rutland Courthouse Historic District, bounded by South Main Street, West Street, Court Street and Washington Street, where Italianate houses went up between 1850 and 1875.
The Rutland Herald began as a weekly on December 8, 1794, and in 2001 it won a Pulitzer Prize for David Moats’s editorials, the first Pulitzer for journalism given in Vermont. Since 1960 the city has held a Halloween parade with a strong superhero theme. Tom Fagan, a local writer and comic book fan, helped shape it and brought comic book writers and artists to march in costume, and the parade became the setting for stories in Batman, Justice League of America, The Avengers and The Mighty Thor.

Along the streets on the map
At 96 Grove Street stands the gray marble library that Mary E. Roberts Baxter built beginning in 1889 in memory of her husband, Horace Henry Baxter, part owner of the Rutland Marble Company; it opened in 1895, and since 1927 it has been the home of Congregation Adath Israel, now the Rutland Jewish Center. Near the northern city line, at Grove Street and Field Avenue, Redfield Proctor built an Italianate house in 1867 at the corner of Field Avenue, before he moved to Sutherland Falls and the marble business there, and Linden Terrace at 191 Grove Street was built in 1912 as a summer estate. Near the city’s southern line, the brick Arthur Perkins House at 242 South Main Street was built in 1915 and 1916 with concrete porches; Perkins, owner of the Rutland Fire Clay Company, had lost two plants to fire and turned to fire-resistant building, and he served as mayor from 1927 to 1935. The Vermont State Fair, first held in 1846 and one of the oldest state fairs in the country, meets at the Vermont State Fairgrounds in Rutland. West Street is the main road west out of downtown, and the Longfellow School of 1890, near Church and West Streets, was the city’s first school built for graded classes.
Martin Henry Freeman, born in Rutland in 1826, became the first Black president of an American college when Avery College in Pennsylvania named him president in 1856, and he later led Liberia College; a sculpture honoring him was installed downtown in 2020. Amtrak’s Ethan Allen Express stops at the brick station on the western edge of downtown, named for Rutland native Jim Jeffords.
