Charles E. Loose House, Historic residence in Provo, Utah, United States.

The Charles E. Loose House at 383 E 200 S in Provo is a brick and wood residence built in 1893. It combines the massing of the Shingle Style with consistent Eastlake ornamentation. Its enveloping roof, veranda and pentagonal fanlight gable windows mark its individuality among the city's architectural sites.

Charles E. Loose built the house in 1893, the year his Grand Central Mining Company wealth grew with the Tintic Mining District southwest of Provo. Loose, a banker and Utah State Senator, was a non-Mormon entrepreneur prominent in Provo at the turn of the century. The house was nominated to the National Register in 1982 but not listed after the owner objected; it was later a contributing property to the Provo East Central Historic District and became a Provo City Landmark on April 28, 1995.

Charles E. Loose was a non-Mormon banker and Utah State Senator, unlike many other Provo entrepreneurs enriched by the Tintic Mining District. His 1893 house belongs to a group of seven Victorian mansions built in Provo between 1893 and 1908, all primarily of brick, whose owners were among the city's and state's most successful men.

The house is registered as a Provo City Landmark and can be viewed from the street. Visitors should take time to examine the woodwork details and windows from different angles to appreciate the craftsmanship.

The house blends Shingle Style elements with Eastlake decoration, a rare combination among Provo's historic buildings. This mix makes it a standout example of the area's architectural history.
