The history of Brookline’s Washington Square is quite distinct and is reflective of its character. Washington Street was the first street in Brookline, laid out in 1657; it was used to bring cattle to stockyards in Brighton and Watertown. The street remained unsettled until the 1700’s. Tappan Street in Washington Square was once the location for summer homes of Boston’s wealthy class in the 19th century. Commercial development, though a key part of Washington Square’s culture today, did not come until 1898. The iconic Washington Square clock is reflective of the strong community feeling that is found in Washington Square; funding for its installation and maintenance was raised by the neighborhood itself.

Today, Coolidge Corner is characterized by busy streets and crowded sidewalks, a very different sight from the spread of large farms it used to be. Coolidge Corner has much to offer its residents, from its quaint, independent movie theater to the Arcade Building on Harvard St with assorted shops. Coolidge Corner also has a variety of restaurants for the foodies living near- a French creperie, a Japanese tea house, and a shop with the largest selection of kosher groceries in New England are just a few! Thanks to great upkeep by its residents, the streets of Coolidge Corner feel authentically reminiscent of a Brookline from the 20s- just with modern interiors to keep everyone happy.
