Charles Morschauser House, also known as the House on the Hill, is a historic home located at Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County, New York. It was built in 1902, and is a 2 1/2 story, frame dwelling with a hipped roof and a projecting, offset front gable. The façade features a one-story, flat-roofed, wraparound porch.^[2]^:5

The house belonged to a local attorney, Charles Morschauser, who commissioned local architect William J. Beardsley to design the home after he had represented him in a legal matter. Morschauser had acquired an almost 3-acre parcel that had formerly been part of an estate named Mountain View, located on an over-sized city lot fronting five different streets. Due to its dignified and grand appearance perched atop a knoll, the design had gained local attention in a couple of newspapers at the time. It is a transitional style containing elements of Queen Anne and Colonial Revival architecture with a blending of materials. The first story boasts a stonework façade while the second has clapboard siding, allowing it to stand out from other houses constructed at the time.^[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.^[1]
