Swallow. It sits on the edge of President's Hill overlooking Quincy Center.","why_significant":"The house is one of the best preserved of several elaborate Colonial Revival houses built in the President's Hill area in the early twentieth century. It keeps its integrity of design, location, materials, feeling and association. It is also tied to the development of President's Hill as an elite residential area for affluent businessmen, civic leaders and Boston commuters.","narrative":"Built in 1915 by Morton T. Swallow, this Colonial Revival house at 105 President's Lane sits at the edge of President's Hill and looks out over Quincy Center. It belongs to a neighborhood laid out in the 1890s after the Charles Francis Adams Estate was divided, and meant for affluent businessmen, civic leaders and Boston commuters. Nearby rail and street railway service helped the area develop through the late 1930s. The house takes the basic rectangular, hip-roofed form of the Federal period and enlarges it, adding freely adapted Georgian and Federal ornament. A five-bay facade becomes three bays, and borrowed classical features include a pedimented dormer, a roof balustrade, an elliptical fanlight in the central bay window and a Palladian window at the rear. It is counted among the best of the surviving examples of this style in Quincy, having avoided severe alterations. A 1930s garage at the rear does not contribute to its historic character.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Morton T.
