Charles Gates Dawes House is the lakefront mansion built for Charles Gates Dawes, whose Dawes Plan for peace eventually earned him the 1925 Nobel Peace Prize. Dawes was U.S. Vice President under Calvin Coolidge. It is a site significant for its owner more than its Queen Anne architecture.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976.^[1]^[3] The Evanston Historical Society maintains its headquarters within the building.
