Wickland is a neoclassical house in Shelbyville, Kentucky, built in 1901 by Charles Cotesworth Marshall, a circuit judge and Shelby County attorney. Named for his wife Elizabeth Wickliffe Marshall's ancestral home in Bardstown—the original Wickland, whose owner was former Louisiana governor Robert C. Wickliffe—the house exemplifies Classical Revival architecture. A two-story brick structure with a pyramidal roof, semi-octagonal projecting bay on the right side, and central passage plan, it sits on less than half an acre across from Prospect Avenue. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Shelbyville Multiple Resource Area, Wickland underwent documentation beginning in 1979 as part of efforts by the Kentucky Heritage Council and Shelby County Historical Society to preserve significant local structures.
