Quincy's City Hall was built in the 1840s in the classic Greek Revival style. It was built with Quincy granite by master stone workers. You can see a close-up of one ionic column here. The crumbling interior is finally being renovated. It is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Happy Skywatch Friday!
