Paine, Robert Treat, House - View this location on map One of the few surviving examples of Henry Hobson Richardson's mature domestic style and the largest and most monumental of his shingle-style houses. The exterior is a unique combination of a boulder-and-rubble first story with a shingle-clad second level. The grand scale of the interior is one of the architect's finest achievements and predicts the 'open plan' of modern architecture. This house is the result of one of the most remarkable collaborative efforts at the end of the 19th century--that of the architect and the landscape architect, Frederick L. Olmsted. 100 Robert Treat Paine Drive, Waltham, Massachusetts Historical
