Description and history

Station Street is a short commercial street in Brookline Village, paralleling the tracks of the MBTA Green Line "D" Branch between Washington and Kent Streets. 30-34 Station Street is on north side, roughly midway on the block and opposite the Brookline Village station. It is a four-story building, built out of brick and covered by a flat roof. The ground floor houses four storefronts articulated by cast iron columns, and the upper floors have eight bays, four of which consist of projecting polygonal bays. It has a deep bracketed cornice, and a band of dentil brickwork between the first and second floors. The building, then as now, housed stores on the first floor and residences above.[2]

The building was designed by Winslow & Wetherill, a Boston architectural firm, and completed in 1893 for Arthur Cobb, a Boston merchant and real estate developer. Cobb's other Brookline properties included a stone rowhouse on Walnut Street and a second commercial block with six storefronts on Station Street.
