The Crafts Street City Stable built in 1895 is an historic redbrick governmental building located at 90 Crafts Street near Ashmont Avenue in Newton, Massachusetts. Designed for $375 by Boston-based architect and Newton resident William F. Goodwin in the Colonial Revival style of architecture, it was built for the city of Newton at a cost of $25,000 to serve as as additional stable for its then Highway Department. Over the years it was converted to a city garage and is now called the Crafts Street Garage and forms the focal point for the city's Department of Public Works complex. On December 18, 2009, the building along with a 20-foot perimeter strip around it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.^[2]
