Regarding Paramount Theater.
[Excerpt from National Register

The Classical Revival facade of this theatre (built circa 1915) constitutes one of the most lavishly detailed expressions in the Rutland Downtown Historic District of the style that dominated Rutland building design during the first two decades of the present century. A central entrance pavilion surmounted by a pedimented gable dominates the buff-brick facade. The triple-doored main entrance, flanked by a shop front on the east and theatre billboards on the west, is now nearly engulfed by an oversized projecting triangular marquee that obscures much of the stone shop cornice.
On the second story, triplet windows under round-headed blind arches rise above the triple main doors, and lead in turn to triplet eyebrow windows in the frieze. Various stone features including corner quoins, plaques, medallions, and keystones embellish the upper wall. A pressed metal denticulated cornice is surmounted by a brick parapetatop which stand two spiral finials and a flagpole.
