The House at 215 Brookline Street in Newton, Massachusetts is one of the oldest houses in the city. The oldest portion of the saltbox house was built c. 1693 by Thomas Hastings, who was prominent in the civic affairs of the area. The house uncharacteristically faces north (when typical period houses faced south), and exhibits simple but high quality Georgian styling. It is 2-1/2 stories in height, five bays wide, with 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]
