The Dutch House, Historical residence on Netherlands Road in Brookline, Massachusetts, United States.
The Dutch House features stepped gables, a high mansard roof spanning two floors, and over 12,000 individual leaded green glass window panes.
Originally constructed as the Dutch Cocoa House for the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, the building was dismantled and rebuilt at its current location.
The building incorporates authentic Dutch architectural elements, including stone animal decorations modeled after the Enkhuizen Orphanage and a design based on Franeker City Hall.
The structure maintains its status as a residential building while preserving historical features such as massive ceiling beams and Flemish wooden panels.
The presence of this building influenced local geography, as Netherlands Road received its name specifically because of this transplanted Dutch structure.
