The House at 94 Grandview Avenue in Quincy, Massachusetts, is the best-preserved of a series of Queen Anne Victorians built on Wollaston Hill. The 2+12-story wood-frame house was built in the 1890s, probably by Horace Briggs, a Boston businessman. It has the complex massing and turret with conical roof that characterize the style. A porch extends across the front, supported by grouped columns and set on a low stone balustrade, and there is a Palladian window in the gable above.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
