The John Harris House and Farm is an historic farm at 284 Newton Street in Brookline and Boston, Massachusetts. The main farm house, well back from the road, was built c. 1778, and was extensively remodelled in 1976; it is one of Brookline's few 18th-century houses, and the centerpiece of the last working farm in both Boston and Brookline, known now as Allandale Farm. A number of older (mainly 19th-century) outbuildings survive on the property, most of which are no longer used for agricultural purposes. The farm was for some time part of the adjacent Brandegee Estate, with the farmhouse serving as the caretaker's house.[2]

The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
