Beautiful pictures. I agree with the previous commenter, what wasn't destroyed by the tornadoes in the 1940s has been torn down or renovated so heavily that it's unrecognizable now. Quincy has no respect for its landmarks unless the state is chipping in (see the Denman row houses that Blessing bought out and promptly destroyed). Where is the preservation of our past so we have something to show our future?

Quincy should have capitalized on its German architecture instead of letting those buildings rot. I still advocate for the city to renovate the buildings they have left. I'm living in Omaha now, and this city has done a fine job of creating a "downtown mall" of sorts by retrofitting their structures and buildings. I think that the Dick Brothers Building has a lot of potential to serve as an anchor for a German district much like Omaha's Old Market, but it would be an expensive project. =/ Shame.

Lost in Quincyby quincymike1,703 views
THANK YOU to whomever put this together! I will be showing this to my kids tonight. I have lived in the Quincy area all my life and shopped at some of these stores when they were still there. I also love old houses but won't buy one because they are too expensive to renovate. So as much as i wish we could preserve these buildings, I am not willing to pay for it. For those of you that wish to downgrade Quincy's fathers for destroying them.... get out your checkbooks.

@farmgirly71 I too wish that some of those buildings could be renovated, not only is it too expensive, but there are so many codes that you have to comply with, unfortunately, some of these buildings do have to come down for safety reasons such as the Paper Box building.
