The H.D. Jameson House is a historic house located at 900 North Prairie Street in Rockton, Illinois. Local merchant and farmer H.D. Jameson built the house in 1855. The house is designed in the Greek Revival style, which enjoyed national popularity at the time of the house's construction. The random stone exterior of the house is punctuated by sash windows and the entrance, which is flanked by sidelights. The front-facing gable roof features a wide cornice with returns. A two-story portico was added to the south side of the house in 1870.[2]
