This picturesque neighborhood coined its name after the merchant Francis Fisher who built his estate at the corner of Chestnut Hill Avenue and Boylston Street in 1852. Fisher Hill had a relatively small number of landowners in the 1880s until some banded together to get Frederick Law Olmsted and John Charles Olmsted and have it subdivided, built, developed, and landscaped. Soon, many fashionably designed houses were built and sold to wealthy individuals. In 1914, many property owners entered a restrictive covenant limiting their Fisher Hill properties to exclusively single-family residential uses.
