"Chateau-style house built in 1894, once home to a U.S. vice president, open for guided tours."
Charles Gates Dawes House is an Evanston wedding venue set inside a National Historic Landmark: a 25-room chateauesque residence built in 1894, now home to the Evanston History Center. The house offers distinct spaces for ceremonies and receptions, including a lawn, main hall, cherry paneled library, East parlor, and a vaulted dining room with a musicians' gallery, plus museum displays that guests can explore during events. The Charles Gates Dawes House was named a National Historic Landmark in 1976, and the Evanston History Center has occupied the building since 1960. Located in Evanston, Illinois, on two acres overlooking Lake Michigan. Couples praise the venue's distinct historic rooms, the flexibility and helpfulness of coordinator Kris, and the way the house itself entertains guests as much as any planned activity.
