Old Chestnut Hill Historic District, Historic district in Newton, United States.

The Old Chestnut Hill Historic District features Renaissance Revival architecture on tree-lined streets with 132 buildings spread across 98 acres of landscaped properties.

The district's development intensified after 1886 when the Circuit Railroad established service, leading to the construction of a station designed by H. H. Richardson in 1883.

The neighborhood represents the evolution of Newton's residential architecture, with Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival styles defining the suburban landscape until 1942.

The district extends along Hammond Street between Beacon Street and the MBTA Green Line, including properties on Chestnut Hill Road between Hammond and Essex.

The Hammond House at 9 Old Orchard Road, built around 1700, stands as Newton's oldest remaining structure within the district boundaries.
