The Thomas M. and Bridget Blackstock House is a two-story Italianate clapboard residence in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, designed by architect Arvin Luce Weeks and completed in 1882. Built for Thomas M. Blackstock, an Irish immigrant who accumulated wealth through the Phoenix Chair Company and the Sheboygan Mutual Loan, Saving, and Building Association, the house reflects the prosperity and civic prominence of its original owner, who served as a city councilman for three terms, mayor for four, and as a representative to the Michigan House of Representatives. Constructed with balloon-frame methods, the home exemplifies the residential architecture of late-nineteenth-century Wisconsin and has been recognized for its historical significance on both the Wisconsin State Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places (listed 1995).
