Henry F. Spaulding Coachman's House is a historic home at 4970 Independence Avenue in Riverdale, Bronx, New York City. It was built about 1880 and is representative of the Stick-Eastlake style. The main section is a 2+12-story cottage dwelling with board and batten siding. It features jigsaw ornament, twin chimneys, and a polychromed slate roof.[2]

The house, originally located in Wave Hill across the street, was moved to its present location in 1909.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
