The Gershom Hyde House was a historic house at 29 Greenwood Street in Newton, Massachusetts, US. One of the city's oldest houses, this Georgian-style farmhouse, c. 1744, was probably built by Gershom Hyde, one of Newton's early settlers. It was a -story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof, large central chimney, and clapboard siding. The rear ell and front porch were later additions. The house's location was along what was once a major road through the area.[1]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. It was designated a City of Newton Local Landmark in 1997.[2]
The house was demolished on or before April 27, 2021, without city approval by developer Ty Gupta, according to Newton, Massachusetts Department of Planning and Development meeting minutes[3] from the May 27, 2021 session. The violation is still under review.
