Upper Paradise is a historic building located west of Bellevue, Iowa, United States. It is one of over 217 limestone structures in Jackson County from the mid-19th century, of which 101 are houses. It is one of 12 houses with a hip roof, and it is one of two that are capped with a belvedere.[1] It was built in 1849 into the side of a hill, so the south elevation has three floors and the north elevation has two. It features limestone sills and lintels. Another unusual feature of this house is that it was covered in a thick layer of stucco.[1] The other stone houses in the county that were stuccoed were only given a thin layer. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
