The David L. Jewell House is a historic house at 48 Grandview Avenue in Quincy, Massachusetts.
History
The 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built in 1887 for David Lyman Jewell, a mill agent from Suncook, New Hampshire. The house is one of the most elaborate Queen Anne Victorians on Wollaston Hill, exhibiting a wide variety of decorative shingles, a domed tower, and varied roof and dormer gables. It has a large sloping front gable, which extends all the way down to the first floor, partially sheltering the elaborately decorated porch. Its carriage barn, now a garage, is one a small number of such surviving outbuildings in Quincy.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
