Seven Gables, also known as the Terrell Thomas House, is a historic house at 215 6th Street in Baraboo, Wisconsin. The house was built in 1860 for Terrell Thomas, a local banker and businessman. The house has a Gothic Revival design described as Downingesque, a term used for smaller Gothic houses inspired by architect Andrew Jackson Downing's design philosophy. Its design features an entrance pavilion topped by a gable roof with decorative bargeboard on its eaves, a side entrance on the west facade with a matching gable, a front-facing verandah with wooden brackets and detailing, and several dormers interrupting the main hip roof. John Durward, a Roman Catholic priest and the son of Durward's Glen founder Bernard Durward, bought the house in 1911; after his death in 1918, local district attorney and county judge Henry Jay Bohn lived in the house until 1929.[2]
