Woodbourne
JAMAICA PLAIN, USA

Woodbourne

This lovely enclave in Jamaica Plain was originally farmland. As the 20th century dawned and new transportation options arrived into the area it developed from 19th-century summer estates into a model suburban district. It is a National Historic District that contains fine representative examples of New England architecture with designs by local architects and builders. It also contains an unusual Garden City model housing development. The plan for which came from the Boston Dwelling House Company (founded in 1912).
