Homes on Maine Street Showcase Quincy Architecture Styles
Quincy Homes Students of architecture study the lovely houses near Eighteenth and Maine streets. The Mrs. Charles S. Nichols house at 1800 Maine embodies New England colonial style with Dutch influences and tall chimneys. Doric columns front the entrance, contrasting the George Dashwood home across the street with Ionic columns. Architect Harvey Chatten used mottled Quincy handmade brick, a novelty at the time.

The third floor houses one of Quincy’s largest billiard rooms and additional servant rooms.
