Thomas C. Carson House, Historic Second Empire residence in Iowa City, United States.
The Thomas C. Carson House exhibits a mansard roof with concave slopes and detailed dormers, demonstrating the architectural principles of Second Empire design.
Built in 1875, the house belonged to Thomas C. Carson, one of the first train passengers to enter Iowa City who later became a prominent merchant and banker.
The residence transformed from a family home to the Alpha Phi Sorority house, reflecting the evolution of educational institutions in Iowa City.
Located at 906 East College Street, the building maintains its structural integrity while serving the University of Iowa student community.
The property earned dual recognition on the National Register of Historic Places individually in 1982 and as part of College Green Historic District in 1997.
