This unusual Queen Anne residence at 10 Winthrop Avenue in the Wollaston Hills section was built in 1911 for a Mrs. A. C. Soutter. Boston architect Frederick H. Gowing (in practice 1903-1937) designed the $7700 structure and builders Singer & Stewart were the contractors. I like the curvilinear lines of the house and the conical tower, the rounded corners and what about the very prominent curved wrap-around balustraded porches, not to mention the granite foundation. I've been waiting to catch this multi-family residence dripping in icicles but conditions haven't cooperated. This is one of my favorite old houses in Quincy.

Just beautiful! Another great one.
This one is from back when houses had tons of character.
wonderful looking house.
That is a mansion! :)
I think that this one is my favorite yet! That is a lovely photo.
I'm so glad you took a picture of this wonderful grand home -- being a Wollaston townie, it's a favorite of mine too. Would love to see the inside. Being built on a hill, makes it all the more lovely perched nicely into the hill side.
