Charles N. Fowler House

The Charles N. Fowler House is located at 518 Salem Avenue in the city of Elizabeth in Union County, New Jersey, United States. Built in 1909, it is a prominent local example of Georgian Revival architecture, featuring a semi-circular projecting Doric portico topped by a metal dome (a later addition). It was designed by the New York firm Carrere & Hastings for Charles N. Fowler, a prominent local banker and United States Congressman. In 1930 Fowler sold the building to the Vail-Deane School. It is now home to a Dar-ul-Islam, an Islamic mosque and community center.

The historic house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 13, 1986, for its significance in architecture and politics/government.
