"Dorothy Q"

Architects Graves & Epps designed this apartment house on Butler Road, adjacent to the Dorothy Quincy Homestead. This 34-unit apartment building was built in 1929, for $150,000. Quincy has numerous fine, traditionally designed, residentially scaled apartment buildings and the "Dorothy Q" is one of them. You are viewing the east side of the building.

Granite Place

Quincy houses many of its low income senior citizens in federally subsidized, high-rise apartment buildings like this one.

A Touch of Mediterranean

This delightful atrium is part of the new Cafe Molus in the Old Market Square. With plants and palm trees...it really feels like the Mediterranean...right in the heart of Toruń!

The cafe also offers beautifully restored apartments upstairs for those who need a place to stay.

This place used to be a quarry, then a"dump". . . no fooling. The old Quarry Street dump was capped off a few years ago and now has 394 units of housing with more planned. Rents start at $1450 for a 1 bedroom and go to $2250 for a 2-bedroom (no utilities) but a fantastic view of Boston and the Atlantic Ocean from some units.
