Robert Treat Paine Estate, National Historic Landmark mansion in Waltham, United States
The Robert Treat Paine Estate features extensive wooden shingle siding across 109 acres of land with sweeping views toward the southeast point.
The collaboration between architect Henry Hobson Richardson and landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted resulted in this residence construction from 1884 to 1886.
The estate construction brought together Canadian builders, Irish stone masons, Egyptian wood turners, and Bohemian marble workers in the late 19th century.
The mansion opens its doors for guided tours, special events, and educational programs while the surrounding grounds remain accessible as a public park.
The property stands as the single residential partnership between Richardson and Olmsted that maintains public access in the United States.
