The Windsor Road Historic District is a residential historic district just north of the village of Waban in Newton, Massachusetts.It includes 48 houses on Windsor, Kent and Hereford Roads, a cul-de-sac subdivision adjacent to the village center and the Brae Burn Country Club, which was mostly developed between 1888 and 1920.
[1] The Windsor Road area was among the landholdings of William Strong, a farmer and real estate developer, who acquired 93 acres (38 ha) in 1875.
He actively promoted the construction of the Circuit Railroad (now the MBTA Green Line D branch), which arrived in 1888, and formed the nucleus of Waban village.
By 1950, the area was built out by the addition of another twenty houses, and by construction of the Brae Burn Country Club.
The district is 26 acres (11 ha) in size, and includes a total of 48 residences on large landscaped lots.
