The Quincy Police Station was a historic police station located at 1 Sea Street in Quincy, Massachusetts.
The original three-story yellow brick Classical Revival structure was designed by the local firm of Clark, Batty and Gallagher, and built in 1925 for $75,000. It was the city's first purpose-built police station. It had only modest styling, including brick pilasters separating its window bays, and a simple cornice topped by a parapet which had a raised section containing the city seal.[2] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1] The building had a modern addition made to it, before being replaced by the Quincy Public Safety building in 2026.[3] The demolition of the building began May 2026, and is planned to become a green space.[4]
