The Crystal Lake and Pleasant Street Historic District encompasses a streetcar suburban residential subdivision developed between 1860 and 1895 in Newton, Massachusetts. The district roughly bounded by the Sudbury Aqueduct, Pleasant Street, Lake Avenue, Webster Court, and Crystal Street. The subdivision was laid out in the 1850s after the Boston and Charles Railroad line (now serving the MBTA Green Line D branch) was extended through Newton from Brookline.[2] The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
