The Harrison Stebbins House was a notable farmhouse built by the settler Harrison Stebbins near historic Cooksville, Wisconsin in 1850. It was a 2-1/2 story Federal Style house made of limestone, which the owners named Windermere. Unity magazine (Chicago) said "[It] was built of stone and was almost palatial in type. On the third floor was a ballroom where on many occasions the brilliancy and culture of the New England settlers gathered from the country round to make merry ... [O]ne entered the grounds through a long avenue with over hanging trees." The Stebbins House was added to the Wisconsin Register of Historic Places on January 1, 1989 (reference #84115), and the National Register of Historic Places on September 17, 1980 (reference #80000401).
