[1] The former Redstone estate is located at the far southwestern end of the University of Vermont campus, between South Prospect Street and its athletic facilities.

Originally 66 acres (27 ha), the southern and eastern portions of the estate have been developed mainly for university housing.

At the east side of the green is a rise, on which stands Andrew Buell's 1889 Richardsonian Romanesque house, now known as Redstone Hall.

At the northern end of the rise stand two water towers, iconic features of the university landscape; one is a 19th-century circular brick building, the other is a 20th-century steel frame structure.

The university first used the space as a women's campus, and has since developed outer portions of the estate for housing and part of its athletic facilities.
