Hall’s Pond Sanctuary and the adjacent neighborhood, Cottage Farm, are part of the National Register of Historic Places (1978) and the first local (Brookline) historic district (1979). The Sanctuary, located behind 1120 Beacon Street, is administered by the Conservation Commission with financial and maintenance support by the Friends of Hall’s Pond. The Friends group has been a model for more than a dozen subsequent “ friends” organizations in the Town which support a variety of neighborhood sanctuaries, parks, gardens, woods, and playgrounds. An extensive restoration of the Sanctuary was completed in 2002, at which time Hall’s Pond (3.5 acres) was combined with the adjacent Amory Woods parcel (1.6 acres).
