The Adams Building is a historic commercial building at 1342-1368 Hancock Street and 1-9 Temple Street in downtown Quincy, Massachusetts. The 3-1/2 story stucco-clad building was built in two stages, between 1880 and 1890, by John Quincy Adams II; it was one of the city's first large-scale commercial buildings. When originally built, it housed retail space on the ground floor, and a mixture of residential space, professional offices, and a social club meeting space, on its upper floors. More recently, the upper floors have been converted entirely to professional office space. The building is locally unusual as an example of Jacobethan architecture, a variant on the Tudor Revival.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
