Brookline: The Hidden History of the Beaconsfield Terraces
Walk through Brookline and you'll see some of the most unique architecture in the world. One of the most fascinating 'hidden gems' is the Beaconsfield Terraces.
A Gilded Age Vision
Built in the late 1800s, these homes were designed as a 'country estate' for wealthy Bostonians who wanted to live near the new T Line.
- Architecture: Think Queen Anne and Romanesque Revival styles.
- The History: They originally shared a communal stable and even a private park.
Modern Living
Today, these homes are highly coveted for their historic detail and incredible walkability to the C Line.
