The Calkins-Orvis House is a historic house located at 210 West Nichols Street in Welsh, Louisiana.

Built in 1901, it is a one-and-a-half-story Queen Anne-style house. It was listed for having "local architectural significance as a landmark in the turn-of-the-century residential heritage of Welsh. This status is based upon its unusual massing (most notably the distinctive treatment of its side gables) and its profusion of intricate shinglework." ^{[2] [3]}

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 8, 1998. ^[1]
