The Chris Neessen House is a historic building located in Wellsburg, Iowa, United States. Christopher Neessen (1864–1944) immigrated from Germany in 1880 and became a farmer, land owner, and local banker.

They were constructed by local builder Mylon Alexander Rohrbacher. The two-story brick house follows an irregular plan and measures 68 by 56 feet (21 by 17 m).[2] It is located on an elevated corner lot. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
