Marble Street Historic District
West Rutland

The West Rutland marble industry, which flourished in the last decades of the 1800s, spawned the development of businesses along Marble Street. After a disastrous fire in 1903, many of the commercial blocks and residences were rebuilt. The most outstanding store is faced with beautifully cut marble blocks. The rest of the stores, many built of brick but some of wood, present a unified appearance with their Italianate cornices and brackets.
