Structure Description

The Victorian home, built on three lots, displays Brinks' skill as a carpenter-contractor. The Quincy Journal described it as "palatial". Victorian devices add texture and interest to the home, such as carved gable motifs, bull's-eye panels, varied shingle styles, and incised window carvings. The spindled wraparound porch is its quintessential Victorian feature.
