The Dorothy Q Apartments is an historic apartment house at 36 Butler Road in Quincy, Massachusetts. It is a five-story brick Colonial Revival structure, consisting of two rectangular blocks joined at one end into a U shape. Its trim elements are in limestone, and include corner quoining, keystones over the windows, and a modillioned cornice. The complex was designed by Graves and Epps and built in 1929, during a period of rapid growth in the city. It is named for the Dorothy Quincy Homestead, which is next door.{{cite web|url=https://mhc-macris.net/details?mhcid=qui.203|title=NRHP nomination for Dorothy Q Apartments|publisher=Commonwealth of Massachusetts|access-date=2014-05-31}}
