From introduction: "Located along the Mississippi River and on the bluffs above, Quincy is famous for its tree lined sheets, beautiful parks, and attractive neighborhoods. The Quincy Preservation Commission was created in 1982 by the City Council to identify buildings, structures, districts, landscapes, and other historic resources worthy of designation as local landmarks or local historic districts. After reviewing each proposed landmark or district application, recommended applications are forwarded to the City Council for approval. Protected exterior features are designated by ordinance. To date, four local historic districts and over 100 local landmarks have been designated. In addition to the local designations, Quincy has 14 individual National Register properties and four National Register Historic Districts."
