The Quincy Mine supply office was built in 1893 at an expense of just over $9,000. The supply office housed an array of mining supplies, from mine lamps to drill steels. The building is a two-story structure with gabled roof and raised foundation. The foundation is made from poor rock while the building is made from red and white Jacobsville sandstone with polished pieces to highlight the corners of the structure and the edges of windows. Arched red brick detail can be seen above the windows and doors. In the early 1990s the building was refurbished into its current use: the Quincy Mine Gift Shop.
