Cottage Farm Historic District
Cottage Farm Historic District, Residential historic district in Brookline, Massachusetts.
The district spans 67 acres with 75 historically significant buildings centered around the junction of Essex and Ivy Streets.
In 1850, industrialist Amos Lawrence purchased the Cottage Farm tract from David Sears and began subdividing the land for residential development.
The district features Gothic Revival, Mansard, Queen Anne, and Georgian Revival architecture with buildings made of brick, stone, shingles, and stucco.
The district boundaries extend from Dummer and Mountfort Streets north to Beacon Street south, between Amory Street west and St. Mary's Street east.
Governor Francis Sargent's 1970 highway construction moratorium within Route 128 prevented the demolition of substantial portions of the district.
