Nobility Hill Historic District

The district encompasses several streets featuring residences constructed between 1860 and 1920, representing different architectural styles from Italianate to Dutch Colonial designs.

Wealthy industrialists, including shoe factory owners John Hill and H.H. Mawhinney, contributed to the development of this neighborhood during the late nineteenth century.

The houses along Chestnut and Maple Streets demonstrate the architectural preferences and social status of Massachusetts industrial leaders during the Victorian period.

The district lies several blocks west of Stoneham's Central Square, with boundaries defined by Chestnut Street, Maple Street, and Cedar Avenue.

The row of houses at 31-35 Chestnut Street displays three consecutive examples of Stick style and Queen Anne architecture from the district's peak construction period.
