Built in 1731, this mansion in Quincy, Mass-
achusetts was purchased by John Adams, 2nd
President of the U.S. as a Federalists. He was on
the committee of 5 that drafted the Declaration
of Independence, and signed that document.
He, with Josiah Quincy, Jr., defended the
British soldiers arrested after the "Boston Mass-
acre." He died on July 4, 1826, the 50th anni-
versary of the Declaration of Independence. His
son John Quincy Adams, 6th President as a Nat-
ional Republican, the precursors of the Whigs,
also lived here. After a term as President, he
was defeated for re-election and then elected,
largely by Anti-Masonic votes, to be Congress-
man from Mass.
