SUMMARY:The Architectural Drawings of Henry Hobson Richardson
DESCRIPTION:Quincy Historical Society invites you to its 2025 Annual Meeting on Tuesday\, October 7th\, at 7pm at the Adams Academy\, where authors Jay Wickersham\, Chris Milford\, and Hope Mayo will discuss the subject of their new book Henry Hobson Richardson: Drawings from the Collection of Houghton Library\, Harvard University. This program explores Richardson’s work with a focus on one of Quincy’s beloved architectural gems\, the Thomas Crane Public Library.\n\n\n\nH. H. Richardson is 19th century America’s most iconic architect. Richardson’s preferred Romanesque Revival style makes his work playfully eye-catching\, and instantly recognizable. Wickersham\, Milford\, and Mayo’s book\, is the first in-depth publication of drawings by H. H. Richardson. The trove of over 4\,000 drawings\, preserved since Richardson’s death and kept by Harvard University\, have been largely unpublished until now. The book presents full-color reproductions of 450 sketches and renderings by the architect and his studio assistants.\n\nIt includes more than 50 projects\, including such masterpieces as Boston’s Trinity Church; the Allegheny County Courthouse and Jail in Pittsburgh; the Marshall Field Store and Glessner House in Chicago; and five libraries\, including Quincy’s own Thomas Crane Public Library.\n\n\n\nThe authors will discuss the Richardson drawings\, and what they reveal about collaboration in Richardson’s studio\, with a focus on the design process that produced the Crane Library.\n\n\n\nThis event is open to all and free to attend.\n\n\n\nAs the Historical Society’s Annual Meeting officers and board members will be elected for the coming year.

SUMMARY:“Birdmen Over Boston Harbor: The 1910 Harvard-Boston Aero Meet” Live Presentation & Book Signing with author Wayne Miller
DESCRIPTION:By popular demand Quincy Historical Society is pleased to offer a reprisal of our March 6th event debuting a new book by local historian Wayne G. Miller on the legendary 1910 Harvard-Boston Aero Meet held at Squantum. This event will take place on Wednesday\, May 7th\, at 2pm\, at the Adams Academy\, 8 Adams Street. \nThe 1910 Harvard-Boston Aero Meet came at a historically significant moment in time when almost no one in New England had seen or heard an aeroplane in flight. This unprecedented phenomenon created an explosion of enthusiasm. An estimated one million people either paid to see the spectacle or found free viewing points along beaches in Dorchester\, South Boston\, and Quincy. For two weeks many of the biggest stars in aviation—known at the time as “Birdmen”– thrilled with daredevil stunts while setting American and World records. \nIn his book\, the first comprehensive of history\, Miller sets the record straight about the importance and many of the details of the 1910 Harvard-Boston Aeromeet. His presentation will take the audience through this amazing story and share some of the book’s eighty exclusive photographs. \nWayne G. Miller is the author of “Quincy Massachusetts: A Shipbuilding Tradition” and “Fore River Shipyard\,” and the co-author with Dan Simmons and Corinne Waite of “A Quincy Book of Days.” He is editor and principal writer of the Historical Society’s “Quincy History” newsletter. \nThis event is open to all and free to attend. A book signing will follow the presentation. We hope to see you there
