The Glen Road Historic District is a historic district at 233-317 Glen Road in Weston, Massachusetts. The district encapsulates historical development trends in Weston, in which land began in agricultural uses, and was later transformed into either resort or suburban residential housing. It is also notable for its longtime association with the Jennings family, who owned the land from the 18th century into the 20th, and engaged in all three land uses. The district includes a c. 1732 farmhouse, originally built by Nathaniel Jennings, a series of cottages built as part of a hotel complex developed around the turn of the 20th century by Edward Jennings, and a collection of attractive residences built in the early decades of the 20th century.[2]
The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1]
