Tourist Information

• 

• Charles and Anna Waterman Building (1941)

• 85 South Prospect Street
• Often chided by critics as a slightly looming, ominous structure, the Waterman building and its combination of Roman Revivalism and Yankee brickwork was conceived as something of a fortress against the elements, and it certainly achieves that.

• 

• City Hall (1928)

• 149 Church Street

• This large modern Georgian structure one of the most impressive municipal buildings in New England among cities of comparable size was built in 1926 at a cost of more than $600,000. One feature often overlooked by visitors is the Contois Auditorium, in which the City Council meets and which is host to a variety of performances by local theatre groups, as well as a number of Burlington's extensive First Night celebrations on New Year's Eve.

• 

• Ira Allen Chapel at the University of Vermont (1926)

• 26 University Place

No longer used for religious practices, Ira Allen Chapel now hosts campus meetings and a variety of performers and speakers.
