Info
The Cottage Farm Historic District encompasses a residential area in eastern Brookline, Massachusetts, known for its association with industrialist Amos Adams Lawrence (1814-1886). Lawrence purchased a large parcel of farmland from David Sears, built a house for his family in 1851, and began subdividing and building out the property. Three houses, including that of Lawrence, are notable English Gothic Revival stone buildings. The district is bounded on the north by Dummer and Mountfort Streets, on the west by Amory Street, on the south by Beacon Street, and on the east by St. Mary's Street. The district excludes properties on the latter two roads.The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
