The New England Telephone Building is a historic utility building at 10 Merrymount Road in Quincy, Massachusetts. This two-story Classical Revival brick structure was built c. 1906 and doubled in size in 1924, reaching its present proportions. It housed the telephone exchange of the New England Telephone Company until 1940, after which time it was converted to office space.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1] Note that this is not the large Verizon building at the south corner of Hancock Street and Merrymount Road, but the smaller, unidentified, building, on the north side of Merrymount.
