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.[3] 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.[1]
