The Elizabeth Loudon Carmichael House is a two and one-half story Queen Anne style residence built of masonry construction and located in Union Gap, Washington. Resting on a large corner lot in a residential neighborhood, the house is distinguished by rusticated stonework and a crenelated tower.[1][2]

The home was built and occupied by the notable Yakima resident and entrepreneur Elizabeth Loudon Carmichael until 1920 (notably, she also built the Carmichael-Loudon House in Yakima, which is also listed in the National Register of Historic Places). Mrs. Carmichael was responsible for a successful mercantile store, and the establishment and expansion of the largest creamery in the Yakima area.[3]

The house was listed in the NHRP in 1991, and is currently a private residence.
