Hillside is a historic house at 230 Summer Street in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was built in 1845, and has Gothic Revival styling. It was the site at which Benjamin Watson established one of the nation's first garden nurseries, the "Old Colony Gardens".

Unfortunately Hillside although once a vacation spot for Thoreau, now is owned by a drunk who sold off a large portion of the estate as development land in the 90's.
