Saint Aidan's Church and Rectory
Saint Aidan's Church and Rectory, Catholic church and rectory in Brookline, United States
Saint Aidan's Church exhibits Gothic Revival elements with red brick construction, brownstone details, and a prominent tower at the southwest corner.
The church, designed by architectural firm Maginnis & Walsh in 1911, became the third Catholic parish established in Brookline after Saint Mary's and Saint Lawrence.
The church held strong connections to the Kennedy family, serving as the baptism site for John F. Kennedy on June 19, 1917.
The church building at 201 Freeman Street has been converted into 59 mixed-income residential units and remains closed to public visitation.
The rectory, built around 1850 by Boston lawyer Edward G. Parker, underwent architectural modifications in 1920 to match the church's design.
