Charles Ives House, Historic residence in Danbury, Connecticut, United States.
The Charles Ives House features a gambrel roof with overhanging eaves, fluted columns supporting a gabled portico, and clapboard siding on a brick foundation.
Built in 1780 by Thomas Tucker, the wooden frame structure became the birthplace of composer Charles Ives in 1874 and received National Register recognition in 1976.
The residence hosted classical music gatherings and informal meetings that led to the establishment of the Danbury and Norwalk Railroad through George White Ives.
The house underwent two relocations, first to Chapel Place in 1924 and then in 1971, as part of local development projects in Danbury.
The Danbury Museum & Historical Society Authority plans to transform this former private school and family residence into an educational museum space.
