Estate home designed c. 1920 by Arthur Bowditch with landscaping by Olmsted for Loren Towle who was wealthy Newton real estate developer. He died in 1924 before his grand estate of forty-nine acres was completed.

The Catholic Archdiocese acquired the house for the Sacred Heart School, later called the Newton Country Day School of the Sacred Heart. The firm of Maginnis & Walsh added a chapel and school wing; their successor firm designed the auditorium/gymnasium.
