The University Green Historic District was originally listed in the National Register of Historic Places on April 14, 1975. Between 1998 and 2015, students of the University of Vermont Historic Preservation Program, under the direction of professors Robert McCullough and Thomas Visser, researched and wrote updated architectural descriptions and historical narratives for each of the resources in the historic district which culminated in a 2015 draft National Register nomination. This National Register nomination synthesizes information from the 1973 individual National Register listing for Grasse Mount (#21), the historic district’s 1975 National Register listing, the 2015 draft nomination and the Vermont Historic Sites and Section 7 Page 4 NPS Form 10-900 OMB Control No. 1024-0018 expiration date 03/31/2022 University Green Historic District (AD) Chittenden County, Vermont Name of Property County and State Structures survey of buildings within the historic district completed in 2019-2020. By compiling all the aforementioned documentation, this nomination serves to replace the original 1975 nomination. Unlike the 1975 National Register nomination, this nomination inventories and describes all buildings, structures, sites and objects located within the boundary of the historic district. The historic district boundary has not changed since the 1975 nomination with two exceptions: a small expansion on its eastern side that incorporates a modern wing of Old Mill (#7) to avoid the boundary bisecting the building; and a small expansion on the southern side to encompass two outbuildings associated with contributing properties. The University Green Historic District is located approximately three residential blocks east and up the hill from downtown Burlington, Vermont at the University of Vermont (herein referred to as “UVM” or “University”). The centerpiece of the historic district is the University Green (#1), which since about 1800 has served as the symbolic heart of the UVM campus. Surrounding the University Green are four public streets: University Place on the east, Main Street on the south, South Prospect Street on the west, and Colchester Avenue on the north. Within the historic district, University buildings face the green from these streets on all four sides and are a mix of purpose-built academic buildings, a hospital complex, former University housing for professors, and former residences that have since been purchased by the University for use as offices and instructional facilities. The east side of the green along University Place, known as “University Row,” contains a collection of some of the most architecturally prominent buildings within Burlington and the State of Vermont, several of which were designed by nationally known architects and firms including McKim Mead and White, Henry Hobson Richardson, and Wilson Brothers & Company. From the quadrant surrounding University Green (#1), the University Green Historic District extends to the west about one block, encompassing part of a hillside residential neighborhood. This densely populated neighborhood contains
