The Converse House and Barn are a historic residential property at 185 Washington Street in Norwich, Connecticut. The house is a 2-1/2 story wood frame Gothic Revival structure, with asymmetrical massing, vertical board siding, and a polychrome exterior. The barn appears to be of similar age to the house, which was built c. 1870. It was the home of Colonel Charles A. Converse, a local philanthropist, and is an important local example of High Victorian Gothic architecture.[2]
