Charles Gates Dawes House

Beautiful place

Beautiful historic residence thats now a museum right off of Lake Michigan. Everyone thats works there are the some of the nicest people Ive met.

Beautiful historic building. Lots of rooms and a gorgeous staircase all done with beautiful oak wood. Impressive!

A gem of a place just off the lake. Lots of truly fascinating history, but I was there for a concert with the Evanston Chamber Music Society

Well-maintained house of a former VP with a fascinating history. Very well done exhibits.

Very educational about an interesting Illinois historical figure. The house and furniture itself is very beautiful and worth seeing. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and happy to answer our questions. Lots of good exhibits upstairs as well. Close to the beach and worth a trip.

I walked by for over a decade without knowing who Charles Dawes was. Oops. Some serious history in this house! The house is on par with some of great historic mansions and worth an architectural tour. There is a small exhibit upstairs on the history of Evanston as well. Very interesting. They have a few open house events a year. Worth the visit!

Historical mansion in a beautiful location. Another Gates - most interesting person. Definitely worth stopping by.

Beautiful home. Tour guide was friendly and was knowable about the property.

Fascinating house and museum. Beautifully preserved and restored. A rich history presented in tours 5 days a week. Also the home of the Evanston History Center. With the complete history of the city available to read and research. The ballroom is available for special events. A shining bright spot in the city of Evanston across the street from the lakefront.

Great venue for small musical performances.

The property is beautiful, and they have a 5 dollar tour that goes through the history of the house and lasts an hour. Its also a beautiful place to have your wedding ceremony or pictures taken.

A must see Museum. I was lucky to attend a wedding & experience the full grander of this historic mansion.

Beautiful mansion! Went here during the open house architecture days and there were many interesting things on display of Dawes equipment, history on Evanston (Ridgeville), and many other things!

Amazing detail from the structure itself to the contents within.

Great Ice cream social

Beautiful representation of a bygone opulent era

Nice look at life 100 years ago

Very interesting

Grand old house, but no bedrooms to tour
