The Gideon Ives House is a historic house at 110 East Jefferson Street in New Boston, Illinois. Gideon Ives, the co-owner of Mercer County's largest general merchandise and grain wholesale business, had the house built for his family in 1857. The house is an early example of the Italianate style; its design mirrors the house across the street, which was built for Ives' business partner, Elmore J. Dennison. The house's roof features bracketed eaves and is topped by a square cupola, and its windows are tall and narrow with cast iron hoods. The entrance is flanked by pilasters, a Greek Revival element; the style was still popular at the time, and its presence reflects the transition between Greek Revival and Italianate as popular American architectural styles.[2]
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 8, 2000.[1]
