The Rutland-5-3 Representative District is a one-member state Representative district in the U.S. state of Vermont. It is one of the 108 one or two member districts into which the state was divided by the redistricting and reapportionment plan developed by the Vermont General Assembly following the 2000 U.S. Census. The plan applies to legislatures elected in 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, and 2010. A new plan will be developed in 2012 following the 2010 U.S. Census. The Rutland-5-3 District includes a section of the Rutland County city of Rutland defined as follows: That portion of the City of Rutland encompassed within a boundary beginning at the point where the boundary line of Rutland City and Rutland Town intersects with South Main Street, then northerly along the west side of the centerline of South Main Street to the intersection of South Main Street and Strongs Avenue, then northwesterly along the west side of the centerline of Strongs Avenue to the intersection of Strongs Avenue and Prospect Street, then northerly along the west side of the centerline of Prospect Street to the intersection of Prospect Street and Washington Street, then easterly along the north side of the centerline of Washington Street to the intersection of Washington Street and Court Street, then northerly along the west side of the centerline of Court Street to the intersection of Court Street and West Street, then easterly along the north side of the centerline of West Street to the intersection of West Street and Lincoln Avenue, then northerly along the west side of the centerline of Lincoln Avenue to the intersection of Lincoln Avenue and Williams Street, then west along the south side of the centerline of Williams Street to the intersection of Williams Street and Grove Street, then north along the west side of the centerline of Grove Street to the intersection of Grove Street and Maple Street, then west along the south side of the centerline of Maple Street to the intersection of Maple Street and Pine Street, then south along the east side of the centerline of Pine Street to the intersection of Pine Street and Robbins Street, then west along the south side of the centerline of Robbins Street to the intersection of Robbins Street and Baxter Street, then south along the east side of the centerline of Baxter Street to the intersection of Baxter Street and State Street, then west along the south side of the centerline of State Street to the intersection of State Street and Cramton Avenue, then south along the east side of the centerline of Cramton Avenue to the intersection of Cramton Avenue and West Street, then westerly along the south side of the centerline of West Street to the intersection of Ripley Road, then southerly along the Rutland City-Rutland Town line to the intersection of the city line and South Main Street, the point of beginning.

Rutland Downtown Historic District
Rutland Downtown Historic District

Rutland Downtown Historic District, is the center of government for Rutland, Vermont. The sector of "downtown" is roughly defined as the area between Strongs Avenue, State, Wales, Washington, Pine, and Cottage Streets. The area is also a major center for business, and is considered the most cultural part of Rutland. Much of the area is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district and includes 90 contributing properties. Some of these buildings date to the late 18th century, when Rutland was founded, but the greatest amount of expansion in downtown came after the marble industry became established on a large scale after 1850. The city's population tripled between 1850 and 1880, and many of the buildings built in this period were either built with or ornamented with marble.In the 1890s, the arts flourished in Rutland, especially in music, literature, and theater. Julia Caroline Dorr spurred much of the appreciation of the arts. Her father had built the original Rutland Opera House, and later rebuilt it after a fire destroyed the original structure. In 1913, George Chaffee built another theatre, the Playhouse. The exterior of the Playhouse had a classical style reflecting the City Beautiful movement of the time, while the interior resembled a Victorian era opera house with lavish decoration. The theatre was renamed The Paramount in 1931, and its entertainment shifted from live performance to movies. The movie theater closed in 1975. In 1999, a local group began restoring the theatre to its historic appearance. The theatre reopened in March 2000 and serves again as a center for artistic, cultural, and educational events.
