The Obee House was a historic house at 1642 Green Bay Road in Highland Park, Illinois. The house was built circa 1874 for the Obee family, who owned the house for a century following its construction. The house had a vernacular clapboard form with Victorian elements. Its decorative features included a bay window and hooded window moldings.[2] Its interior featured a wooden staircase, detailed baseboards, and pine flooring.[3]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 29, 1982.[1] It was demolished in the late 1990s and replaced by a condominium development and removed from the National Register in 2020.[3][4][5]
