One of the few truly eclectic houses in the Cottage Farm neighborhood of Brookline can be found here at the corner of Prescott and Euston streets. Built in 1905 for Edmund Francis Leland Jr. (1868-1963), a wool merchant, and wife, Eliza Smith Leland (1872-1949), the house exhibits elements of Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, and Arts & Crafts styles under one roof. The house was designed by the firm of Kilham & Hopkins who incorporated many design features found in early 20th century architecture. The steep gable roof, diamond pane door and half timbering is typical of the Tudor Revival style; the columned entry and large Palladian window on the side elevation are evidence of the Colonial Revival style; and the use of stucco and shingle siding, and the overhanging eaves with brackets and exposed rafters at the roof and second floor, are typical in the Arts & Crafts mode.
