086/ L AUG HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - - 442 SOUTHERN ARTERY QUINCY POLICE STATION The Quincy Police Station was built in 1925 at a cost of $75,000. Part of the expansion of municipal services which occurred in Quincy in the 1920s and 1930s. the Quincy Police Station was Quincy's first building erected specfically to house the municipal police force. Prior to moving to the new building at 442 Southern Artery. the police station was housed in an old school building (1829, now demolished) on School Street.* The first effort toward organizing a police department in Quincy was the passing of Ordinance #19 in 1889 which established the office of Deputy Manager to oversee the twenty-one special patrolmen and ten constables who were headquartered in the basement of City Hall. In 1892.
with the passing of Ordinance #25, the Quincy Police Department of today was formed with a salaried Chief and ten patrolmen.

AUG 7 1989 ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE -- 442 SOUTHERN ARTERY QUINCY POLICE STATION The yellow brick Quincy Police Station, built in 1925, is a fine example of a public building designed in a simple Classical Revival style. It is a three-story structure set on a high concrete basement capped with a plain cornice, and a shaped parapet with the seal of Quincy in the central pedimented A few classical details on the facade endow the building with a modicum of style.
The two entrances placed at the sides of the front are embellished with Greek pediments and framed with pilasters. Giant pilasters separate the windows of the three floors and give the building a vertical thrust. The police station was designed by the local architectural firm of Clark, Batty and Gallagher; the builder was William R. Lofgren an active Quincy contractor and architect who also designed the 1925 addition to Christ Church (1874; #293). The police station is situated , 1874g 205 among a complex of contemporary structures. The boundaries for this nomination include only the police station and the land immediately around the building (10 feet in each direction).
