Family Legacy
Granite City Partners emerged in 2020 as the reincarnation of the 50 year old Bay Colony Appraisal Company, a Quincy based real estate and tenant advisory firm owned by the late John Barr. The Bay Colony Appraisal Company embodied the love of Quincy, Massachusetts, personified the reverence for our local and national government often found within World War II Marine Veterans, and demonstrated the impeccable skill and focus of a Public School Woodshop teacher. John brought all of these values to his work, his clients and his daily life. Granite City Partners was established to renew and expand upon John’s enduring legacy.
