WELCOME to the robust architectural scene of the Gem City! The city of Quincy has some of the most impressive architecture of any community in Illinois, presenting an unrivaled portfolio of styles and well preserved structures, with four National Register Historic Districts. From Quincy’s earliest days of development, a remarkable number of pre-Civil War buildings exist today. Many Federal and Greek Revival style homes and commercial structures built as early as the 1830s can be found in and around the core of the city’s Downtown Historic District. German immigrants helped shape Quincy’s unique cultural background and influenced building styles and craftsmenship in the area known as the South Side German Historic District. As Quincy experienced its greatest periods of growth from 1850-1880, and again in the late 1890s, the population began to move north of the downtown into larger homes to the Northwest Historic District. During the latter part of this period, expansion occurred directly to the east of the downtown area. The stately mansions and large high-style homes of the east end of the city may be the most memorable Quincy buildings. Every architectural style popular within the United States during the Civil War through the turn of the century can be found in what is now known as the East End Historic District. National architectural movements continued to influence the designs of buildings constructed in Quincy during the first half of the 20th century. The Prairie style and Craftsman bungalows are prolific throughout the city, as well as a large stock of magnificent Mid-Century Modern structures. The array of styles throughout Quincy are so extraordinary it’s impossible to capture all of them in one guide. You’ll see a boat club moved by barge in the early 1900s, a 20,000-square-foot mansion built with a basement bowling alley, and a 1948 Lustron pre-fab enameled steel home. The guide explores 48 properties in all, 18 of which are sandwiched in the middle via a self-guided walking tour of the East End. If you would pre- fer to bike the city, the topography is primarily flat and easy to navigate. Bike Quincy offers affordable rentals by the day or hour. Two Treks or a tandem available / Reservations recommended > SeeQuincy.com / 532 Gardner Expy / 800.978.4748.

BATSCHY, John One of Quincy’s most important architects, Batschy was Swiss-born and designed the pilot house for Park Place, Quincy’s first covenant subdivision established in 1888. [#14, p. 7] BAUHAUS & ZWICK The Bauhaus-Zwick Construction Company left a distinctive mark on the Quincy architec- tural landscape most notably with the arresting collection of five Art Moderne homes they designed in 1939 [#26 p. 15]. BEHRENSMEYER, Charles Nephew to George Behrensmeyer, Charles provided the transition locally to architecture of contemporary times. He unleashed a folio of designs in a pure Moderne Style. The stuc- co and steel home at 2210 Aldo Boulevard [#8, p. 12] is arguably one of Charles’ highest profile structures in Quincy. Charles recruited John Benya from St. Louis for assistance to keep astride the housing boom post WWII. BEHRENSMEYER, George P. Quincy’s first academically trained architect, George returned from the University of Illinois armed with the Colonial Revival style. However, his first commission would be the Villa Kathrine, a Mediterranean castle on the Quincy bluffs in 1900 [#1, p. 3]. George fashioned his own residence at 333 East Avenue in the Prairie School style, and he and his business partner, Wilbert Hafner, designed much of the detailing for the original Quincy Senior High School [#15, p. 7]. BENYA, John Known as an imaginative modernist, Benya designed more than 500 cutting edge build- ings across the country. His works included several of Quincy’s most prominent public spaces and remain some of the most admired buildings in western Illinois today, with the futuristic Quincy Regional Airport terminal a definite coup in his portfolio [#30, p. 16]. For a deeper dive into Benya designs, see the Mid Mod Quincy Guide at SeeQuincy.com. BUNCE, Robert Considered by many the “true father” of Quincy’s architecture, Bunce arrived in about 1867 after a short tenure in Chicago and was directly or indirectly responsible for scores of elaborate Italianate commercial blocks in Quincy. His talents were far-reaching as seen in his 1870 Moorish design of the Temple B’Nai Sholom [#21, p. 13] and his impression would endure through his own works as well as those of his apprentice, Harvey Chatten. CHATTEN, Harvey Quincy native who ushered the Queen Anne Style to its greatest local realization and was responsible for the majority of Romanesque Revivals in Quincy. Chatten’s powerhouse portfolio includes structures like the Poling House [#11, p. 12] and the Newcomb-Stillwell Mansion, collaborating with Ernest Wood, whom he trained. GEISE, Martin One of the most prolific architects in Quincy with a vast range of commercial and resi - dential contributions from the early 1900s-1940s. Geise’s portfolio spanned styles from Prairie School in his personal residence [#9, p. 12] to Art Deco in the 1940 Coca-Cola Bottle Company building at 616 N 24th Street. HORN, Frank Partner of a leading architectural firm with Charles Behrensmeyer, Horn was responsible for some of the most recognized buildings in the tri-state area. His unique flair is evident in a sprawling 1969 one-story home built in the heart of the East End Historic District behind a stone privacy wall [#13, p. 12]. MCKEAN, John S. After relocating to Quincy in 1874, McKean designed four of the city’s High Victorian mon- uments including Salem Evangelical Church [#10, p. 6]. He mastered the French Second Empire style in one of the most regal homes on Maine Street [#18, p.8]. WOOD, Earnest M. Wood was one of the first Quincy architects to work in the Prairie School and became the leading practitioner of the style. He designed his own Queen Anne style residence in 1897 with Tudor Revival details [1843 Grove Ave]. A notable feat by Wood remains gracefully in service at 1600 S 8th Street–- the Stone Arch Bridge, c. 1899.
