Ivy Terrace, located in Jefferson City, Missouri, is a 2½-story Queen Anne style frame house built in 1893 and set on a foundation of rough limestone blocks. The residence exemplifies the Queen Anne aesthetic with its rounded tower, wraparound verandah, high and irregular roof, fish scale shingles, and asymmetrical facade. The house is historically significant as the residence of Lawrence Vest Stephens, who lived there while serving as Missouri State Treasurer for three years before his election as governor in 1897. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, the building stands within the Capitol Avenue Historic District.
