     The 300 block displays a variety of metal, wood, and masonry building materials. Particularly dramatic is the wide pressed-metal cornice, with spheres, dentils, modillions, and brackets, at 321 Quincy. This 3-storv building was erected in 1906.
     Notice the wooden false-fronted commercial buildings on the south side of this block . A false front was an inexpensive way to give a building (especially a gable-fronted building) a substantial commercial appearance.
     325 Quincy, with its elaborate doorway, was constructed in 1901 as a steam laundry and residence. Alternating rough-faced and smooth sandstone give this building an unusual texture.
