The Newtonville Historic District is a historic district in the village of Newtonville, in Newton, Massachusetts. The predominantly residential district encompasses an area with a high concentration of Victorian-era houses south of Newtonville's business district, as well as the southern portion of the business district on Walnut Street. When it was first listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, the district had two major sections. The first section consisted of Highland and Otis Streets, between Lowell and Walnut Streets, including properties on Lowell, but excluding properties on Walnut north of Cabot Street. The second portion consisted of Walnut Street between Cabot Street and Dexter Avenue, excluding Newton North High School and including most of Clyde Street east of Walnut.[2] In 1990 its boundaries were increased to include Birch Hill Road south of Highland, additional houses on Lowell Street, and the business district on Walnut Street south of the railroad tracks.[3]
