The current design and character of Cottage Farm can be traced to Amos A. Lawrence, his brother William, and the wealthy businessman who sold them 200 acres of land north of Beacon St. in 1850, David Sears. It was Sears who had purchased 500 acres of land for his family and friends in the present day Longwood and Cottage Farm areas when the construction of the Mill Dam Road connected Boston with Brookline in 1821. Sears laid out Mason and Knyvet squares following the European model of houses lining and facing the open spaces.
