The Horace G. Lyons House is a historic house. It was built in 1860 for Horace G. Lyons, a settler and farmer.[2] It was expanded in 1893. In 1900, Lyons authored a religious booklet called The Devil Problem, in which he argued that the devil could be found in every man.[3] The house remained in the Lyons family until 1977.[2]

The house was designed in the Second Empire and Italianate architectural styles.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since August 1, 1984.[1]
