Lot Description
[ADAMS, John Quincy (1767-1848)]. Valuation of Pews in the New Stone Meeting House in Quincy. Boston: Ezra Lincoln, [1828].
Approx. 8 1/4 x 13 in. partly-printed broadsheet (split and loss with 19th-century repair, a few brown spots, light wear at edges).
A chart showing the valuation of pews for the new 1828 building of the United First Parish Church where John Quincy Adams, his family, and his parents, John and Abigail Adams were all life-long members. Notably, pews 1 and 2 are noted as purchased by "J Q Adams." Other pews are made out to other members of the Adams and Quincy families. The Greek Revival 1828 building was designed by Alexander Parris and financed by John Adams by a donation of land and granite. Both Adams presidents and first ladies share a family crypt at the church.
Collection of Tom Charles Huston
