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.
