The Baxter–King House is a historic house at 36 Heritage Road in Quincy, Massachusetts. The 2+12-story wood-frame house was built in the 1860s, and is one of the city's finest Italianate houses. The L-shaped house dominated by a three-story square tower with a shallow hip roof that has a bracketed and modillioned eave. An elaborately decorated entry projects from the tower. Windows are varied in shape, including round-arch windows with drip moulding, and single and doubled sash windows. The house was built by James Baxter Jr., whose daughter Helen married Theophilus King. King owned a leather business in Boston and was president of the Granite Trust Company.[2]

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