Reserve Center History:
The Army Reserve was in Quincy long before the building at 36th Street was built. The property was donated to the U. S. Government by Quincy Post No. 37, The American Legion, in memory of our departed comrades of the great wars. "For God and Country" 1956.

Construction began in 1957 and was completed in 1958. The dedication was held on October 13, 1958.

The opening of the dedication program contained the following: It is highly fitting that on the exact 100th anniversary of the historic debate between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas, that this building be commemorated as a memorial to these two great men of Illinois.

The unit at the time of dedication was the 2nd Battalion 405th Infantry Regiment. Several units have since occupied the center.
