Joseph Ross House
The Joseph Ross House is a historic house located at 5200 Passfield Road in Rochester, Illinois. Joseph Ross built the two-story Italianate house in 1868. The brick house has an "L"-shaped plan with a low hip roof. Two porches run along the house, one at the front entrance and one along the rear ell. A bracketed and dentillated cornice, the house's main decorative feature and a key element of the Italianate style, encircles the roof line. The house is the best-preserved brick Italianate house in the Rochester vicinity.
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 2, 2006.
