The William Page House is a historic house in Glasgow, Kentucky. It was built in 1814-1815 by William Page, a farmer, on land he had brought from John H. Baker in 1812.[2] The house was inherited by his daughter Elizabeth, who married Colonel Robert Strange; it has also been known as the Colonel Robert Strange House.[2] The family owned slaves.[2] The house was designed in the Federal architectural style.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since May 20, 1983.[1]

It has an early hall-parlor plan, "exceptionally well-laid brick work," and "very fine interior woodwork".[2]
