The Alcoa Care-free Home is a Modern ranch style house at 1589 Clover Street in Brighton, Monroe County, New York, built in 1957 by the architect Charles M. Goodman as one of 24 demonstration homes listed in a 1957 Alcoa sales brochure and the only one built in New York State. Its post and beam construction, shallow side gabled roof, and end walls of plate glass illustrate 1950s experiments in aluminum featured residential design, and the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 18, 2010.
