Rosemary Hall

Rosemary Hall is a Gothic Revival school building in Greenwich founded in 1909, featuring characteristic pointed arches and flying buttresses. The campus spreads across multiple buildings set on a substantial wooded property.

The institution opened in 1909 as a girls' school and became a pioneer in developing female education and athletics. It set standards that other regional schools came to follow.

The school shaped girls' education by promoting both sports and academic achievement in equal measure. This dual focus made it a model that other institutions in the area sought to follow.

The grounds sit at the intersection of Ridgeway and Zaccheus Mead Lane and can be reached on foot from nearby roads. Check in advance whether tours or visits are available, as this is an active school campus.

The school appeared in a large photo essay in Life magazine in 1937 documenting the annual school dance with guests from Ivy League universities. This national coverage made it a known destination for girls from prominent families.
