Nightengale House

The Nightengale House is a historic house at 24 Quincy Street in Quincy, Massachusetts. The $1 1/2$-story wood-frame house was built in the 1850s, probably by Thomas Nightengale, whose son Jerimiah got the property around 1876. It is a worker's cottage somewhat typical of many built during that time, with Greek Revival and Gothic Revival decorative elements. Its front facade originally had pilasters at the corners, rising to a frieze, but these details have been lost by the application of siding (see photo). Its surviving Gothic details include the steeply pitched front dormers, and pointed-arch windows in the end gables.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
