The Quincy Electric Light and Power Company Station is a historic power station at 76 Field Street in Quincy, Massachusetts. This brick structure was built by the utility in 1902 to meet growing demand, and was operated as a coal-fired power plant until 1920, when the company began purchasing power from Boston Edison instead. It continues to be used as a power distribution substation.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
