Paine Estate

The Robert Treat Paine Estate, also known as Stonehurst, is a National Historic Landmark with more than 100 acres of public open space. This country home of social reformer Robert Treat Paine and his family was created by architect Henry Hobson Richardson and landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, whose work continues to inspire culturally and environmentally sensitive design today. The people of Waltham today possess the once-private estate of generous social justice champions whose forefathers helped develop the democratic foundations of this country. Choose Stonehurst for a one-of-a-kind New England wedding surrounded by a beautiful Olmsted environment. Its high location, complete with a curved terrace and grass, offers views of rolling meadows and distant hills. There is plenty of inside space with roomy rooms and a degree of design and craftsmanship you won't find anywhere else for your peace of mind in the unpredictable New England weather. Despite this, it will seem as warm and welcoming as your own home.
