Pinebank Mansion, Queen Anne mansion at Jamaica Pond, Massachusetts, United States
The mansion stood on a hill with English brick walls and terra cotta ornaments, offering views across Jamaica Pond from its elevated position.
Architect John Hubbard Sturgis designed this 1870 mansion as the third structure on the site, replacing two previous houses built by the Perkins family.
From 1914 to 1936, the building housed the Boston Children's Museum, later serving as a center for arts programs and theater productions.
The structure underwent demolition in 2007, with selected materials preserved in a foundation vault for potential future reconstruction references.
Frederick Law Olmsted incorporated the mansion into his Emerald Necklace park system plans, designating it as a potential dining establishment.
