Converse House and Barn
Converse House and Barn, Victorian Gothic house in Norwich, Connecticut.
The 2.5-story wooden residence at 185 Washington Street features asymmetrical architecture, vertical board siding, and a polychrome exterior with decorative Gothic gables.
Colonel Charles A. Converse, a local businessman, commissioned the construction of this residential property around 1870, marking a period of architectural evolution in Connecticut.
The interior displays refined craftsmanship through oak flooring, walnut dining room paneling, and a fireplace adorned with tiles depicting Dutch landscape scenes.

A distinctive hip-roofed tower and seven-sided porch define the front facade, setting this house apart from other Victorian Gothic structures of its era.
