T.C. Steele Boyhood Home, also known as the T.C. Steele House, is a historic home located at Waveland, Montgomery County, Indiana. It was built about 1852, and is a 1+12-story, three-bay, Greek Revival style frame dwelling with a front-gable roof. The house was renovated and enlarged between 1895 and 1902. It was partially restored in 2002. Restoration was completed in 2014 and the home now operates as a privately owned, no cost retreat for artists and historic preservationists. It was the boyhood home of noted Indiana impressionist artist T.C. Steele (1847-1926).[2]: 5 

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.[1] Current programming for the location includes plein air paint outs, annual family reunions, artist mentoring weekends, school field trips, and public tours by appointment.
