The Winfield House was a historic house at 853 Hancock Street in Quincy, Massachusetts. Built c. 1880, it was a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure with exuberant Queen Anne styling. It was built by John Chamberlin, a traveling hardware salesman. The house was particularly distinctive for its onion-domed tower near the center of the structure, an unusual placement and topping for such a tower. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
Winfield House served as a restaurant for 50 years. The house was demolished in 1998 by its then owners, Eastern Nazarene College, to make way for a campus expansion; all that is left now is stairs leading up to an empty house lot and the elm tree.
Now Over the years, an with it being the year 2017, the whole site was demolished, along with the motel, and a new Quincy Middle School was built in the place of where the old Winfield historic house, Presidents City Motel and the great restaurant "The Egg and I" used to be.
