Built in 1889, the Quincy Engine House served as a maintenance garage for the Quincy & Torch Lake Railroad. What began with 2 bays, soon became 3, and ultimately 4, signifying Quincy's growth at the time. The engine house is a tall single-story structure made from poor-rock and has a shallow-sloped flat roof. Brick arch details can be seen above the windows. Recent preservation includes tuckpointing, a new roof, windows, and doors.
