404 N. Adams Street, Quincy, Florida
| Built by Roderick K. Shaw, a shade tobacco planter and life insurance agent,
the house was later sold to E.B. Embry, who came from Kentucky and organized the Embry Tobacco Company. The house is an excellent example of Queen Anne
architecture with its "picturesque massing of a variety of shapes and textures in a nonsymmetrical composition." Note the decorative brackets,
spindle work on gable and scalloped shingles on the roof. In 1998, Mary
Alice and Carson Dyal completed an elegant restoration of this lovely house.
An addition on the back contains Ms. Dyal's studio and a garage. http://www.gadsdencc.com/historiclandmarks.htm |
