The Adam Orris House is a three-story brick residence built around 1887 in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, exemplifying the Second Empire style popular in late-nineteenth-century American domestic architecture. The building showcases characteristic features of the period, including a distinctive tin mansard roof, a projecting three-story bay, a corner tower, and a full-width front porch. A contributing carriage house, also constructed around 1887, stands on the property. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
