The James P. Hidley Cottage is a small Carpenter Gothic house in western Butler County, Ohio, erected in 1860 and notable as one of the area's rare surviving examples of the style. Built with board-and-batten walls on a stone foundation, the cottage displays characteristic Carpenter Gothic detailing: a gabled roof with finely decorated bargeboards, ornamental wooden accents on the porch, and a central chimney. Doors and windows punctuate both the front and side elevations, with a single window lighting the upper half story. The property carries earlier significance as well—it once held a combined gristmill and sawmill constructed in 1810 by David Dick, son of Butler County pioneer Samuel Dick. James P. Hidley commissioned the house's construction in 1860, though he did not acquire full title to the mill property until 1868; the mill was demolished in 1940. The cottage was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
