Hunnewell Estates Historic District
The Hunnewell Estates Historic District is an historic district between the Charles River and Lake Waban in Wellesley and Natick, Massachusetts, about 17 miles west of Boston. It consists of the large group of 18th to 21st century agricultural and estate properties with farmland, gardens, residences, and landscapes of the Hunnewell and Welles families. The properties in the Historic District are still largely owned and occupied by members of the Hunnewell family. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.〔(Arnoldia issue 64/4 - Hunnewell Estates ) . accessed 5.15.2011〕
==History==
The Hunnewell estates began with talented railroad financier and businessman, landscape designer, and horticulturalist H. Hollis Hunnewell in the late 1840s, and continued with his adult children, and the following generations.〔〔(Arnoldia vol.12, issue 9-12; Dec. 1952 - "The Hunnewell Arboretum, 1852 - 1952" ) . accessed 5.15.2011〕 Mr. Hunnewell and his family gave much to the town of Wellesley, which was renamed after his wife's family - the Welles, and to Boston, with civic philanthropy in numerous fields.
They also were generous to the New England horticulture community for over 75 years via importing, testing, and distributing many new plant introductions, estate site planning and garden design examples, and supportive leadership in the Massachusetts Horticultural Society.〔 Horatio Hollis Hunnewell was especially interested in coniferous and broad-leaved evergreens, and Asian rhododendrons.〔
At their peak during the early 20th century 'American Country Place' era, there were twenty contiguous Hunnewell estates along Washington Street and Pond Road in southwest Wellesley.〔
