Immaculate Heart of Mary School (Rutland, Vermont)

Built in 1951, it is a rare example of International style architecture in the state, designed by Dirsa & Lampron of Manchester, New Hampshire.

Its simple and clean lines are hallmarks of the Mid-Century Modern (and more specifically International) style of architecture popularized in the 1950s.

The main facade has a central entrance section set in projecting walls, with a lattice of windows framing and surmounting a pair of glass doors.

On either side of the entry extend slightly recessed panels with casement windows at their base, and rows of glass blocks above.

The building is a relatively unaltered expression of their design, unusual in the region due to the harsh climate and its effects on some of the stylistic choices.
