5 Chimneys & 4 Gables

[click image to enlarge]

Architect George E. Robinson designed this fine Colonial Revival commercial brick building in 1940 for a sum of $50,000. Robinson is better known for designing numerous fire stations in Quincy beginning with the Central Headquarters in 1938. This building located at 50 Adams Street, still has it's original slate roof and is just down the street from the Adams Mansion. It is occupied by South Shore Buick, America's oldest Buick dealership, and has been owned by the FitzGerald family for 85 years. If you would've rather have had a Buick check out these models 1908-1949. (Keep scrolling down until you see the pictures.) I would like to have had the 1931 56S coupe! How about you?
