The Chestnut Hill Historic District encompasses the historic portion of the village of Chestnut Hill that lies in Brookline, Massachusetts, with only slight overlap into adjacent Newton. The district is bounded on the north by Middlesex Road, on the east by Reservoir Lane, on the south by Crafts Road and Massachusetts Route 9, and on the west by Dunster Road. A small portion of the district extends south of Route 9, including a few houses and the Baldwin School on Heath Street.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination and MACRIS inventory record for Chestnut Hill Historic District )〕 The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 17, 1985.〔 The oldest portion of Chestnut Hill, including its colonial roots, lies just over the line in Newton, and was also the part of the village that was the first to be developed as a suburban residential area. When the Brookline section was being planned for development, Frederick Law Olmsted was consulted in 1888, but his plans were not executed. The area was developed between then and about 1920, with large, high-quality houses on well-proportioned lots. Most of the houses in the district are either Colonial Revival or Shingle in their styling; there are also a few earlier Queen Anne houses and a number of later Craftsman-style houses, especially in the Reservoir Lane area which was the last to be developed.〔 Several prominent area architectural firms were engaged in the development of properties in the district. Chapman and Frazer (later Chapman, Frazer and Bliss) were responsible for 29 of the more than 120 houses in the district; Horace Frazer lived in the district, at 471 Heath Street. Putnam and Cox designed seven homes, generally in the Arts and Crafts style, and William Putnam also lived in the district. Arthur Bowditch designed one house, as did the firm of Hartwell and Richardson.〔 ==See also== *Old Chestnut Hill Historic District, encompassing the Newton portion of the village *National Register of Historic Places listings in Brookline, Massachusetts *National Register of Historic Places listings in Newton, Massachusetts 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chestnut Hill Historic District (Brookline, Massachusetts)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
