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]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
