The Henry Wishard House is a two-story brick residence in Bloomfield, Iowa, built in 1910 in the Queen Anne style. Wishard, a prominent local businessman credited as the father of the gasoline tax in the United States, constructed over 100 buildings across Bloomfield and Dighton, Kansas. The property originally included a barn, chicken house, and additional outbuildings; the barn was later replaced with a complementary garage, while the other structures were removed. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.
