The Abner L. Harris House is a historic house at 226 N. Pine Street in Reedsburg, Wisconsin.

History[edit]

The two-story house was built circa 1873 by carpenter William Dierks. Dierks gave the house a Second Empire design featuring a front porch supported by classical columns, multiple bay windows, a sunroom in the rear, a bracketed cornice, and a mansard roof with small arched dormers. Longtime owner Abner L. Harris bought the house in 1874. Harris served as both mayor and postmaster of Reedsburg, operated a large general store, and funded or was a partner in many of Reedsburg's early commercial and industrial endeavors. After Harris died in 1908, Mary Meyer Rudd and her descendants lived in the house for several decades.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 and on the State Register of Historic Places in 1989.[3]
