Mount Pleasant is a historic estate house at 15 Bracebridge Road in Newton, Massachusetts. The two story wood frame house was built c. 1856 by Roswell Turner, a major land owner and real estate developer in the Newton Centre area. It is a well preserved example of the academic Italianate style, with a three-bay facade and hip roof with a small gable over the centered entry, and a three story turret. The property was owned for many of the later years of the 19th century by Charles S. Davis, another major force in the development of Newton Centre.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
