The Washington C. Wear House is a historic house located south of Princeville, Peoria County, Illinois. Washington C. Wear, a farmer from Ohio, had the house built in 1870. The house has an Italianate design which a local architectural survey regarded as one of the best examples of the style in rural Peoria County. The two-story projecting front entrance includes a porch with square posts, an arched doorway and paired second-story windows, and a gabled pediment at the top. The house's windows are tall and narrow with bracketed hoods. The hip roof atop the house features wide eaves and paired brackets along the cornice.[2]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 19, 1993.[1]
