Structure Description

The corner-dominating, two and a half story brick and stone house-with its monumental false gable- is reminiscent of Frank Tubessing's designs. The west engaged turret with dressed limestone trim, the classical dentils, and spandrel with larger than usual turnings, as well as the carved double entry doors, mark this house as one of Quincy's finer homes.
