David Syme House, Queen Anne style residence in Sycamore, Illinois, United States.
The David Syme House stands with two prominent turrets and stained glass windows, constructed in 1880 according to architect George O. Garnsey's design.
In 1868, David Syme arrived in Sycamore and later commissioned this $8,000 residence while serving as president of Sycamore National Bank and mayor.
The residence maintains its position within the Sycamore Historic District, which received National Register of Historic Places recognition in May 1978.
The structure remains a reference for architectural studies, with its design published in 1885 and replicated in several other residences across the United States.
Three other houses share the same architectural design: Jenkinson House in Michigan, Shearer-Christy House in Wisconsin, and McClure House in California.
