The Perkins Estate is a historic estate at 450 Warren Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. The property was part of the summer estate of the Cabot family, originally belonging to Thomas Handasyd Perkins; the present main mansion house was built in the 1850s to a plan by Edward Clarke Cabot for his sister-in-law, Elizabeth Perkins Cabot. The grounds of the property were originally designed by Perkins, and subsequent generations maintained the grounds to a high degree. In the 1980s it was owned by Mitch Kapor,[2] founder of Lotus Software.
The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
