Now used as an administrative building for the School of Natural Resources and the University Extension Service, this elegant Beaux-Arts classically geometric form raised on an elevated site with ballustrade and doric temple portico was initially built as a U.S. Weather Station. In its almost hundred year existence Adams House has served such diverse functions as the center for Military Studies and the Pringle Herbarium.

An earlier version of a classical style, Greek Revival, is Wheeler House, on the northwest corner of Main and South Prospect streets (Ammi Young, 1842). It was initially built for UVM President John Wheeler, was the University infirmary in the mid-20th century and is now the home of The Historic Preservation Program and the Department of History.
