A Burlington church designed by Edward Larrabee Barnes and Dan Kiley faces an uncertain future

Docomomo USA and The Cultural Landscape Foundation have also pointed out these extant risks and encouraged adaptive reuse. Preservation Burlington has set up a site showcasing the complex.

“Fifty years after the mother church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Vermont burned down, its replacement, a celebrated Modernist gem designed by architect Edward Larrabee Barnes paired with its elegant 1.2-acre setting by Vermont’s own Dan Kiley, one of the nation’s most influential postwar landscape architects, is in mortal danger,” said Charles A. Birnbaum, President and CEO of The Cultural Landscape Foundation. “The loss of this rare Vermont commission by Kiley would be tragic and unnecessary.”
