The Kell House is a Neoclassical single-family residence in Wichita Falls, Texas, designed by the architectural firm Jones and Orlopp. Built in 1909, the house served as the home of Frank Kell, a prominent businessman who accumulated his wealth through railroads, flour milling, and oil interests. Along with his brother-in-law Joseph A. Kemp, Kell was instrumental in promoting the development of Wichita Falls during the early twentieth century. The residence remained in the Kell family's hands until 1980 and is now operated as a house museum. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
