The Nathan C. Ricker House is a historic house located at 612 West Green Street in Urbana, Illinois. Architect Nathan Clifford Ricker designed the house for himself in 1892; he lived there until his death in 1924. Ricker was a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, and he established the university's architecture program; he also designed several of the school's buildings. His house, a two-story Queen Anne structure, was his only residential design. The house has an asymmetrical plan with a multi-component roof, projecting bays, and a front porch along the entire west side. Wood shingles decorate the house's exterior, and decorative posts, railings, and a frieze adorn the porch.[1]
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 21, 2000.
