Longwood Historic District
Longwood Historic District, Historic residential district in Brookline, United States.
The Longwood Historic District spans 52 acres between Chapel, St. Marys, Monmouth, and Kent Streets, featuring Victorian and Gothic Revival architecture.
David Sears and Amos Adams Lawrence transformed this farmland into a residential area during the 1850s, following the arrival of the Brookline Branch Railroad.
The district contains notable religious structures including Christ's Church Longwood and the Episcopal Church of Our Saviour, representing diverse architectural traditions.
