The Rawson House is a historic building along Clifton Avenue in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States.
Erected circa 1870, [2] it has been ranked as a fine example of the Italian Villa style of architecture. [3] Built with brick walls and elements of wood and stone, [4] it was originally the home of Jacob Lloyd Wayne. Later, the house was sold to Joseph Rawson, who was the president of a local meat packing firm and then the vice-president of the city's First National Bank. [3]
In 1973, the Rawson House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. [1] Non-archaeological historic sites in the United States qualify to be listed on the National Register by passing any of three different criteria: significant historical role, relation to a historically significant person, or historically significant architecture. [5] It is possible for properties to meet more than one criterion; the Rawson House fit all three. Five years later, a group of properties along Clifton Avenue were designated a historic district, the Clifton Avenue Historic District; [1] the Rawson House is a contributing property to that district.

The front of the house is a simple square, but its facade is broken up by the roofline of the porch, which includes a gazebo with a dome and cast iron decorations.
