The Elbert-Bates House is a historical residence located in Albia, Iowa, United States.

Benjamin F. Elbert was a cashier and member of the board of directors of the First National Bank of Albia, as well as a cattle farmer.

The house originally had a wooden porch on the front, but, because of extensive wood rot, it was removed at the same time the solarium was added.

It is an unusual architectural feature for southern Iowa in the period they were built, and it also suggests they have the same architect and/or brick mason.

He was also responsible for the Vermilion Estate in adjacent Appanoose County, which is similar in style to the original block of this house.
