Description and history
The Brackett House is located in a residential area south of Newton Corner, at the northwest corner of Centre and Bellevue Streets. Centre Street is a historically old road, and is now a busy artery between Newton Corner and Newton Centre to the south. The house is Шаблон:Frac stories in height, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. It is fronted by a monumental two-story Greek temple portico supported by four fluted Ionic columns. The main entrance is at the center of the three-bay facade, flanked by sidelight windows and topped by an architrave with cornice. A cross-gabled section projects on the south side of the building, with a fully pedimented gable that has a half-round window at its center.[2]
The area where the house stands was originally allocated to Deacon Samuel Hyde, who was one of Newton's first settlers, arriving in 1639. Hyde and his brother laid out Centre Street. By the 1840s the property was farmland owned by Nathaniel Brackett. The house was probably built in 1844, the year Nathaniel's son Gilman married Catherine Russell.[2] The house was extensively damaged by fire on March 20, 2010,[3] and subsequently underwent a careful restoration which was completed in 2013.[4]
