The campus of the former Rosemary Hall school in Greenwich is a rare exception: a campus that looks not to English universities for inspiration, but instead to the villages and monasteries of Italy. Architect Theodore E. Blake was hired to design at least eight of the school’s buildings. The most striking example designed in the Romanesque style is the gymnasium. Placed in a central campus location, the gym serves the architectural role of a church in the context of its imagined Italian village, and the building adopts a corresponding visual expression, both in its form and its materials. Its principal façade is dominated by three generous arched openings. These frame elaborate wrought iron screens, each one following a different pattern. Niches for statues sit between the entrances. Above these a large circular window in the gable reinforces the impression of a medieval Italian church. To the right of the building’s primary mass stands a square tower. Behind the tower, a loggia runs the length of the building. The apex of the north façade is crowned by an elaborate chimney. The walls are built primarily of fieldstone, though arched openings are framed with red brick, and certain details, such as the sculpture niches and the arched corbels are highlighted with red-painted stucco. The roof is of red terra cotta and exposed structural clay tile is interspersed with brick to form the loggia arcade on the east side. No doubt a new set of teachers and students at Brunswick School will appreciate and enjoy this remarkable work of architecture
