The George and Elsie Mattis House is a historic house located at 900 West Park Avenue in Champaign. The house was built in 1926; while it was constructed around the frame of a Queen Anne house from 1893, its redesign was so extensive that the 1926 house is effectively a new building. Locally prominent architect George Ramey designed the house in the Georgian Revival style; the English Brothers, a firm known for its commercial and public works throughout the state, built the house. The two-story brick house features quoins at the corners and a limestone belt course between the two floors. The front entrance is flanked by pilasters and topped by a full entablature with an architrave, frieze, and egg-and-dart cornice. Pedimented dormers project from the slate hip roof on all four sides.

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 7, 2010. [1]
