The Hardwick House is a historic house at 59–61 Spear Street in Quincy, Massachusetts. The 2-1/2 story wood-frame house was built in 1850s, and is one of the city's largest Greek Revival houses. Its massing, with side-gable roof, is more typical of the Federal period, but it has corner pilasters, a full entablature, and pedimented gables. The main entry has full-length side lights and is topped by an entablature. The house was built by Franklin Hardwick, owner of a local granite business.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
