Quincy Mansion, Historical mansion in Quincy, Massachusetts, United States.
Description
Quincy Mansion was a three-story Georgian residence with marble fireplaces and French doors opening directly onto the ground level. The house sat within a substantial rural estate featuring tree-lined approaches and views of the waterfront.
History
The mansion was built in 1848 by Boston's mayor Josiah Quincy Jr. and served as a private residence during the mid-1800s. Later it became a school for girls before being demolished in 1969 to make way for college development.
Culture
The property transformed into the Quincy Mansion School for Girls under Horace Mann Willard, operating as a Christian college-preparatory boarding institution.
Practical
The house had an elevated walkway on the roof offering views toward Boston Harbor and passing ships. The original location can be visited today, though the structure itself no longer exists on the campus of Eastern Nazarene College.
Did you know?
The property was part of a 200-acre Lower Farm estate connected by an elm-lined drive featuring four rows of trees leading to the entrance. This carefully designed approach reflected the grandeur typical of wealthy estates in that era.
