The McVickar House is a wooden-frame house at 131 Main Street in Irvington, New York, built in 1853 in the Greek Revival style with later Picturesque decorative touches, by the Episcopal minister John McVickar, who moved to Irvington to help establish a chapel school with friends including the writer Washington Irving. McVickar's son, the church's first pastor, later lived in the house, which is the second-oldest structure on the village's Main Street. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004, it now serves as a museum and offices for the Irvington Historical Society.
