Quincy Mansion

The mansion itself was situated where Angell Hall now stands on the campus of the Eastern Nazarene College.

The mansion, which was built in the mid-19th century,[1] was three stories and white, in Georgian architecture, with marble fireplaces in most of the rooms and large French windows on the first floor that "opened upon either little balconies or broad piazzas.

"[2] From the captain's walk of the Mansion, Wollaston Bay was clearly visible down to the "ships entering and leaving the port of Boston.

[6] When Dr. Willard died in 1907,[7] his wife took over as principal[8] until she could no longer manage the property.

At the urging of Charles J. Fowler, who knew the property was for sale, the Eastern Nazarene College moved to its current location in the Wollaston Park area of Quincy, Massachusetts, in 1919,[9] and acquired the mansion as part of a 12-acre (49,000 m2) property that also included the classroom building called the Manchester (1896), the stables (1848) (where Memorial Hall was built in 1948), and the Canterbury (1901), which still stands today as Canterbury Hall.
