The House at 23–25 Prout Street in Quincy, Massachusetts, is a well-preserved local example of worker housing for people employed in the local granite industry. A fine example of a "Quincy Cottage", it is a 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure with clapboard siding and a side-gable roof. It has a projecting gabled entrance vestibule, and twin shed-roof wall dormers, both of which are detailed with decorative wooden shingles. The front roof eave has Italianate brackets. This house was built by Barnabas Clark, a major investor in the granite quarries, to house workers.[2]

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