Fred R. Hayward House

The Fred R. Hayward House, located at 1547 Centre Street in Newton, Massachusetts, is a historic residence built in 1912 and designed by architect Robert Coit. This striking 2+1⁄2-story stucco-clad house features a unique architectural style with a hip roof and two prominent gables framing the main entrance. The left gable extends to create a charming sunroom. Notably, Fred R. Hayward, the house's namesake, served as president of the New England Confectionery Company, a business founded by his father. The house was recognized for its historical significance and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, making it an interesting site for both tourists and researchers interested in early 20th-century architecture and local history.
