The Wilson-Gibson House is a mid-nineteenth-century brick residence on Oak Street in Cincinnati, Ohio, notable for its unusual blend of Federal and Neoclassical architectural styles. Built on a stone foundation by James Wilson beginning in 1859, the two-and-a-half-story structure features shuttered windows and a distinctive grand double door flanked by fanlight and sidelights, paired internal chimneys, and six-over-six windows—details that Cincinnati architectural historians have noted parallel those of the nearby Taft Museum of Art. The house takes its name from later owner Katherine Gibson, daughter of Louis Hauck, though it was originally inhabited by Wilson's brother. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, it represents a rare convergence of two overlapping yet distinct architectural idioms from American building tradition.
