"Cloud Home" is a historic home located at Pottsville, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. It is a 2 1/2-story fieldstone dwelling in the Greek Revival style. It features a pedimented portico supported by four Corinthian order columns. Surrounding the home are seven acres of landscaped grounds. Located on the property are a contributing large stone barn, stone smokehouse with matching necessary, and an octagonal stone building with subterranean vault.[2] This building was used as John Bannans legal office.

The home was built by John Bannan, a local attorney, and his wife Sarah Ridgeway Bannan. The property was deeded to the family in 1826 and the mansion was built from 1851-52.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
