Charles G. Dawes House, Châteauesque residence in Evanston, Illinois, US.
The Charles G. Dawes House stands at 225 Greenwood Street, featuring French castle design elements with steep roofs and ornate stone decorations.
Built in 1894 by architect H. Edwards Ficken, this mansion became home to Vice President Charles Gates Dawes from 1909 until his death in 1951.
The house represents the architectural preferences of late 19th-century American elite society, incorporating European castle design principles into residential structures.
The Evanston History Center maintains regular tours of the mansion, allowing visitors to explore the library, dining room, and great hall with period furnishings.
Charles Dawes composed 'Melody in A Major' in this house, which later became the number-one hit song 'It's All in the Game'.
