The district is roughly triangular in shape, and is bounded on the north by the Massachusetts Turnpike, Park Street to the east, and Franklin and Newtonville Avenues to the west. It is roughly bisected by Church Street, and is named for two parks that are significant focal elements of the district. Kendrick Park is a small lozenge-shaped park at the southern tip of the district designed by Alexander Wadsworth; it was laid out at the request of William Kendrick, a horticulturalist whose c. 1822 Federal style house was moved to the area after the park was completed. Farlow Park is a larger rectangular park in the district's northwest, which was established by a gift from John Farlow. It is landscaped in a manner similar to the Boston Public Garden, with specimen trees and an artificial pond with bridge.[2] The district was one of the first major areas of suburban residential development in Newton, spurred by the railroad station at Newton Corner, and the development of streetcar lines. There was some early development in the 1840s, resulting in a number of Greek Revival and Italianate houses being built in the area, but major development occurred between 1870 and 1910, resulting in a significant number of Queen Anne and Colonial Revival houses. The district includes two significant churches: the 1885 Immanuel Baptist Church, designed by H. H. Richardson, and the 1897 Newton Methodist Episcopal Church by Cram, Wentworth and Goodhue.[2] The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, and expanded in 1986,[1] adding a section of Park Street near the southern tip of Kendrick Park.[3] See also
