Newton Presbyterian Church is a Presbyterian Church (USA) church in Newton, Massachusetts, United States. Completed in 1881 as Channing Unitarian Church, the church building became the congregation's home in 1945, having previously been at a church at the corner of Warren Avenue and West Brookline Street in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood. The church was rededicated on April 23, 1946. In 2014, its congregation was spread around 126 zip codes, with around one-third of the church's members living not only outside of Newton but outside any bordering town. In 2017, the congregation voted 107–26 to leave Presbyterian Church (USA) and join a small evangelical denomination. The church's name was changed to Newton Covenant Church. Its local authority, the Presbytery of Boston, sued the church in an attempt to regain control of the congregation, claiming the vote was unauthorized and against denomination rules. A sign installed in front of the church read "G O D I S N O W H E R E", leading to some people to read it as "God is nowhere" instead of the intended "God is now here." The congregation has since resumed its affiliation with Presbyterian Church (USA). There have been seventeen pastors of the church since 1846. As of 2021, the position is held by Rev. Thomas D. Reid. The church is one of five in an area of around 0.5 square miles (1.3 km2), the others being (from west to east) Arabic Baptist Church, Eliot Church of Newton UCC, Grace Episcopal Church and Newton Covenant Church (located in Bigelow Junior High School).

Grace Episcopal Church is an Episcopal church in Newton, Massachusetts, United States. Completed in 1873, it replaced an earlier, wooden church which stood at the corner of Hovey Street and Washington Street from 1858. During the rectorship of the church's third pastor, Rev. Henry Mayer, plans were made to build a new church. The first intention was to build at the corner of Hovey and Washington, but a better location was found, at the corner of Church Street and Eldredge Street, about 1.2 miles (1.9 km) to the southwest. Eldredge Street did not exist before the transition. It is named for Elizabeth Trull Eldredge, who provided the funds for the E (natural) bell at the new church. The new church was designed by Alexander R. Esty. The cornerstone (the same one laid under the original church) was laid on September 4, 1872. Its first service was held on Advent Sunday in December 1873. The original church was removed to nearby Watertown. A stained-glass window near the church's tower commemorates the son of Mr. and Mrs. Neff who lost his life in the Civil War. Another window is a memorial to Lizzie Shinn, the daughter of rector Rev. George Wolfe Shinn, who died of tuberculosis. The church's baptismal font has been noted for its size: it stands over 3 feet (36 in) tall when uncovered, or 5 feet (60 in) when covered. In 2020, the church was seeking funds to restore its bell tower. The church is one of five in an area of around 0.5 square miles (1.3 km2), the others being (from west to east) Arabic Baptist Church, Eliot Church of Newton UCC, Newton Presbyterian Church and Newton Covenant Church (located in Bigelow Junior High School).

The Farlow and Kenrick Parks Historic District is a predominantly residential historic district in the Newton Corner area of Newton, Massachusetts. The district is roughly triangular in shape, and is bounded on the north by the Massachusetts Turnpike, Park Street to the east, and Franklin and Newtonville Avenues to the west. It is roughly bisected by Church Street, and is named for two parks that are significant focal elements of the district. Kenrick Park is a small lozenge-shaped park at the southern tip of the district designed by Alexander Wadsworth; it was laid out at the request of William Kenrick, a horticulturalist whose c. 1822 Federal style house was moved to the area after the park was completed. Farlow Park is a larger rectangular park in the district's northwest, which was established by a gift from John Farlow. It is landscaped in a manner similar to the Boston Public Garden, with specimen trees and an artificial pond with bridge.The district was one of the first major areas of suburban residential development in Newton, spurred by the railroad station at Newton Corner, and the development of streetcar lines. There was some early development in the 1840s, resulting in a number of Greek Revival and Italianate houses being built in the area, but major development occurred between 1870 and 1910, resulting in a significant number of Queen Anne and Colonial Revival houses. The district includes a number of significant churches: the 1885 Immanuel Baptist Church, designed by H. H. Richardson; the 1897 Newton Methodist Episcopal Church by Cram, Wentworth and Goodhue; and the 1872 Grace Episcopal Church designed by Alexander Rice Esty.The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, and expanded in 1986, adding a section of Park Street near the southern tip of Kenrick Park.

The Farlow Hill Historic District is a residential historic district in the Newton Corner area of Newton, Massachusetts, United States. It includes houses on Shornecliffe Road, Beechcroft Road, Farlow Road, Huntington Road, and a few properties on immediately adjacent streets. Most of the houses in the district were built between 1899 and the late 1920s and are either Craftsman or Colonial Revival in their style. The area was created by the subdivision of the estate of John Farlow, and includes 37 large and well-appointed houses, generally architect-designed, on ample lots. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.John Farlow was a local businessman whose landscaped estate occupied 40 acres (16 ha) on Farlow Hill. After his death in the 1890s it was subdivided according to a plan by the engineering firm of Aspinwall and Lincoln. The area was outfitted with all of the latest amenities: water, sewer, and gas lines, and electrical service, and was described in a 1907 newspaper article as "Newton's choicest residential section".The preponderance of houses in the district are Colonial Revival in character. Of particular note is the 1902 Smith-Peterson House at 32 Farlow Road, which was separately listed on the National Register; it is distinguished with a monumental pedimented front. Another particularly elaborate example is 114 Farlow Road, with a row of pedimented dormers in its gabled slate roof, a modillioned cornice, and corner quoining. The house at 52 Farlow Road is a typical example of Tudor Revival styling: a stucco clad 2 1/2 story house built in 1922, the left side of its main facade is an expanse of half-timbering. Craftsman style houses include the unusual 106 Shornecliff Road, a shingled instance of the style built in 1911.
