This impressive mansardic residence at 67 Prospect Street was probably built by Israel Waterhouse, a pork dealer in Boston. Its ornamental details point to the Second Empire architectural period and this is one of Quincy's finest examples. This imposing structure is difficult to get a very good picture of and could use some serious maintenance before nature takes its toll. Children in this Wollaston Hill neighborhood think it looks like a "haunted house" . . . I'd have to agree with them.

I just had a quick flashback to the movie "Psycho"...but it is a very pretty structure, and a neat shot!
Love those verandahs on old houses!
Nice post and nice photo ... love that you did this one in black and white!
I also thought of "Psycho" but it's too bad we associate those beautiful old homes with "Ghosts"!!!
I guess the B&W adds to the effect.
Love the agle of the photograph and the fact thats its in b&w. Great shot.
It looks like it belongs in an episode of Scooby Doo!
Great post!
I actually thought of Alfred Hitchcock.
