The Brookline Town Green Historic District encompasses the historic colonial heart of the town of Brookline, Massachusetts. It is bounded on the east by Kennard Street, Chestnut Place, and a portion of Chestnut Street, and on the south by Codman Place, part of Walnut Street, Welch Road, and Warren Street. The western boundary is part of Lee Street between Warren and Dudley Streets, and the northern border skirts the southern edge of Reservoir Park and then runs along Massachusetts Route 9. The area includes the site of the town's first four meeting houses, its first town hall and Old Burying Ground, and a neighborhood of gracious 19th-century residences on large lots. It notably includes the Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site.[2]

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
