 | | The fourth section focuses on "Architecture for Display", the period from 1875-1900, when the ornate styles of the Victorian age reached their zenith. |
 | | Photos and architectural ornaments explain the Shingle, Stick, Richardson Romanesque (the only architectural style named after an individual architect, Henry Hobson Richardson, who originated it), and Queen Anne (probably the most ornate style of all, and one that people think of as being quintessentially Victorian). |
 | | The former exhibits photos of building that have been altered substantially, and may be nearly unrecognizable from old photographs; the later presents architectural detailing and pictures of magnificent Quincy buildings that have been demolished. |
