The Dohrmann-Buckman House is a historic house at 8455 W. Grand Avenue in River Grove, Illinois. The house was built in 1875 for original owner Frederick Dohrmann. It has a gable front plan with an Italianate design that includes a front porch with columns and a frieze, a glazed transom above the entrance, and segmental arched windows on the second floor. River Forest village clerk Henry Buckman and his wife Bertha acquired the house in 1890; the couple placed two additions on the house and built a barn on the property. The house remained in the Buckman family until 1992, when it became a historic house museum.[2]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 24, 1995.[1]
