The Blue Hills State Police Barracks is on Hillside Street in Milton, Massachusetts. It houses the police and patrol offices of the Blue Hills Reservation, a Massachusetts state park administered by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR). The 1+1⁄2-story building was designed by Stickney & Austin and built in 1904 out of Quincy granite. The building is an elongated Cape-style building, with eight bays across and three deep. The roof line is pierced by eight evenly spaced gable dormers and two chimneys.[2] This building also served as the Milton District substation for the Metropolitan District Commission Police before the agency was consolidated into the Massachusetts State Police in 1992.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 25, 1980.[1]
