Central House is an 1860s Italianate hotel building in Orangeville, a small village in Stephenson County, Illinois. Built by town founder John Bower, the three-story brick structure was the first commercial brick building in downtown Orangeville and operated as a hotel from its construction until the 1930s, when it was converted to residential use. Its mid-19th-century Italianate style reflects the architectural tastes of the era. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
