United First Parish Church in Quincy, Massachusetts, is a Greek Revival structure completed in 1828 to designs by architect Alexander Parris and built by Boston stonecutter Abner Joy. Originally established as the parish church of Quincy in 1639, the current edifice was funded by the Adams family and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1970 for that association. The church earned the nickname "Church of the Presidents" because Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams, along with their wives Abigail and Louisa Catherine Adams, were members and are all buried in a family crypt beneath the building. Pew number 54, marked with a plaque and ribbon, commemorates the seating used by John Quincy Adams and his family.
