The Charles Allis House (also known as the Charles Allis Art Library) is a historic house located at 1630 East Royall Place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is locally significant due to its association with Charles Allis, who took a deep interest in art and was the first president of the Milwaukee Art Society and a trustee of the Layton Art Gallery, among other things.
