Richmond Court

Richmond Court is a late 19th-century apartment complex on Beacon Street with buildings numbered 1209 through 1217. The structures display English Tudor features in their architecture and have kept their original residential function.

The prominent architect Ralph Adams Cram designed this complex in 1898, bringing English Tudor manor style elements to American residential architecture. His design significantly influenced how affluent communities in New England shaped their homes.

The buildings show a blend of Colonial and Jacobethan design elements that reflect how residential styles evolved in late Victorian Massachusetts. You can see on the facades how architects of that era tried to bring European design influences into American neighborhoods.

The complex sits on Beacon Street with good access to public transportation and pedestrian routes. The buildings preserve their character while serving as a modern residential space.

The site received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 as part of the larger Beacon Street Historic District. This designation highlights its role in Brookline's architectural heritage.
