Charles Andres House is a historic house on Middle Bass Island in Lake Erie, off the northern coast of Ohio. The house was built by winemaker Charles Andres, a German immigrant who moved to Middle Bass Island in 1854. Andres bought the 17-acre (6.9 ha) plot where he built his house in 1866, using most of the land for his vineyards. Ohio's Lake Erie islands, particularly the Bass Islands, were a major winemaking center in the nineteenth century, and most of its wineries were small operations run by German immigrants such as Andres.
