The Stearns–Wadsworth House is an Italianate residence built in 1868 in Bald Mound, an unincorporated settlement near Batavia, Illinois. Constructed for George N. Stearns, a prominent local farmer who held extensive land holdings in Blackberry Township, the house exemplifies the architectural tastes of prosperous rural landowners during the mid-nineteenth century. The property was recognized for its historic significance when it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
