House at 215 Brookline Street
The House at 215 Brookline Street is one of the oldest houses in Newton, Massachusetts. The oldest portion of the saltbox house was built ca. 1693[1] by Thomas Hastings, who was prominent in the civic affairs of the area. The house uncharacteristically faces north (typical period houses faced south) and exhibits simple but high-quality Georgian styling. It is 2½ stories in height, five bays in width, and has narrow clapboard siding. The main entrance is flanked by pilasters and topped by a shallow hood.[2]
