The Brandegee Estate is an historic estate at 280 Newton Street in Brookline and Boston, Massachusetts. The main estate house was designed by Little, Brown & Moore of Boston, and the estate was landscaped by Charles A. Platt. The 2-1/2 story mansion built in 1897, enclosing an 1890 house that had been built on the site by Mary Pratt Sprague (later Mrs. Edward Brandegee). The Renaissance Revival house has elaborate interior decorations, including a dining room paneled in mahogany, a second dining room in oak, and a ballroom with elaborate candelabras and chandeliers, with tapestries by Gobelins. The house stands on a slight rise, looking over a landscaped formal garden, which included a pool and an open summer house.[2]
The property includes two stables, built c. 1905-13, that were until recently used by the city of Boston's mounted police corps.
The estate was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
