Description and history

Noah Curtis (1772–1856)

The 1+12-story Federal period Cape style house, built in 1795 by Noah Curtis, is the oldest Cape-style house in South Quincy. Noah Curtis was an early local pioneer in the manufacture of boots and shoes, which became one of Quincy's major industries.[2]

The house is five bays wide, with a center entrance and a centrally-placed chimney. The entry is sheltered by a later portico, and there are additions to the right side and rear.[3]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 20, 1989.[1]
