Phineas Chapman Lounsbury House
Lounsbury House, formerly known as Grovelawn and as the Ridgefield Veterans Memorial Community Center, is a historic house at 316 Main Street in Ridgefield, Connecticut. It is a two-story wood frame Classical Revival-style building that was built in 1895. Its design, by Charles Northrop, was an emulation of the Connecticut State Building exhibited at the 1893 Columbian Exposition, at the request of Governor Phineas C. Lounsbury, who attended the exhibition. It served as his family home. Lounsbury died in 1925, and his heirs gave the house to the town in 1945. The House and classic gardens now serves as a venue for meetings, art gatherings, festivals and special events.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
