1918 Grove Hill Ave Residents
The 1918 Newton Blue Book shows the residents of the street in 1918:
No residents on Grove Hill Park at that time.
The garden
The Lewin’s also owned all but 10 ft of “Lot 70” on Grove Hill Park and sold it to the Rhodes.
We speculate that this property was used for horses and/or house access. One of the dependents of the Patey family referred to their being a garden, and he supposed it was on this lot
The Rhodes sold it to Bertha Nardone.

1983 Newton Historical Society Analysis
We got this report from the Newton Historical Society.
Architectural Significance
This is one of a group of Queen Anne houses which explored for their suburban owner the possibilities of a special effect and decorative design. Here an offset gable pavilion with decorated gable field tops a 2 story bay window. The gables as well as a band just above the slight “Garrison overhand” have pattern shingle. a porch which extends to the side has simple cut brackets, while the bracket which support the overhanging gable has a starburst motif resembling that of the gable field. An inset balcony at the side has a bowed hood above it, a commonly used shingle style effect.
Historical Significance:
In 1883 a hotly debated proposal for the town to buy the still wild and lovely 174 acres surrounding Bullough’s Pond for a central park for $87,000 failed as too costly for the City of Newton. Thereafter, much of the property was purchased by George Morse and the Newton Land Improvement Company. Streets were laid out and house lots surveyed. Four houses on Grove Hill were built in 1887, but the plots on Grove Hill Park did not sell till after 1907.
