This sign is displayed outside a new "watering hole" at Marina Bay. Do you think bathing suits are allowed? This is my choice for July's Theme Day.

The Book Castle

[click image to enlarge]

Some of Quincy's youngest readers call this library "the book castle". I have to agree!

Sunday is for Church

[click image to enlarge]

This is the new St. Catherine's Greek Orthodox Churchin the neighboring town of Braintree. This church design is not only very beautiful and unique looking for this area but there is also plenty of parking and room to expand. The building in Wollaston, that they used to hold worship in is slowly being converted into high-end condos.

Have you ever seen a window embedded in a chimney?

The Clearing

Storms have been racing across the states leaving some gorgeous cloud formations in their wake. Happy sky watching Friday everyone.

Thursday is "This Old House Day"

[click image to enlarge]

This old house was acclaimed as the grandest local estate in the 17th and 18th centuries in Quincy. "The Quincy Homestead" was chosen for the National Register of Historic Places in 2005, because it represents the evolution of over 300 years of American architecture by combining Colonial, Georgian and Victorian design.
The Quincys were one of the leading families of Massachusetts. Their decendants include President John Quincy Adams and Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes. It was the childhood home of the First Lady of Massachusetts, Dorothy Quincy Hancock, wife of John Hancock, first signer of the Declaration of Independence, and first governor of Massachusetts.

The Massachusetts Colonial Dames negotiated a sale-leaseback agreement with the state in 1904 to save the mansion. The state is mostly responsible for the exterior and The Dames look after the interior. Since 2005, this old house has undergone much renovation to restore this stately historic building to its former grandeur.

Dorothy's Doorway

[click image to enlarge]

This Georgian style doorway belongs to the "Quincy Homestead" on the corner of Hancock Street and Butler Road. The home dates back to 1686, is on the National Register of Historic Places, and was home to 5 generations of Quincys. Come back tomorrow to see the whole house view and find out which Dorothy lived here.
