==Description and history==
The Highland is set on the south side of Highland Avenue on Central Hill, directly opposite the city's high school. It is a three story brick building, Richardsonian Romanesque in style, with brownstone trim, and a conical roof on its corner turret.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for The Highland )〕 Brownstone beltcourses, varying in thickness, separate the basement, first, and second floors, and also separate the top of the third floor from the cornice, which has a band of dentil brickwork below the modillioned roof line. The main facade is six bays wide, divided into two similar sections having a rounded bay at the right. The main entrance is set in the third bay from the right beneath a large round brownstone arch.
The building was designed by Samuel D. Kelley, a noted local designer of apartment buildings, and built in 1892, during the city's rapid expansion as a streetcar and railroad suburb. It was marketed as an exclusive and elegant accommodation within walking distance of a train station with frequent service into Boston. It is one of the city's finest residential Romanesque designs.〔
