The James Brown House is a historic building located in Riverdale, Iowa, United States.

Universal Atlas Portland Cement Company bought it from the Nuttings in the 1920s and then sold it to John Crissey in 1937.

The stone house is situated on 5.8 acres (2.3 ha) at the base of a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River.

At the same time, it reflects Roman or Jeffersonian Classicism found in the four-columned front porch and carved balustrades, the raised basement, and tall chimney stacks.

The main entrance is topped with a rectangular transom that is broken by two engaged piers and flanked by sidelights.
