Oak Knoll is a historic estate house at 17 Brooks Street in Winchester, Massachusetts. The large 2.5 story wood frame house was built in the early 1890s by Lewis Parkhurst, who was by then a partner in the publishing house of Winchester resident Edwin Ginn. Parkhurst's mansion is the last surviving late 19th-century mansion house in Winchester. Its irregular massing, many gables, and complex roof line are typical of Queen Anne styling, while details of the entry and porch are Colonial Revival.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
