The Samuel W. Temple House is a vacant residential structure located 115 West Shawnee Street in the city of Tecumseh in Lenawee County, Michigan in the United States. It was designated as a Michigan Historic Site and added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 13, 1986.[1][2]

The house is a two-story gable roofed structure that also has a one-story wing that contains an entrance and porch. The house is an upright and wing structure that is a mix between Italianate and Late Victorian architecture. The house was built around 1866 by local lumber merchant Samuel W. Temple, who was a leading businessman in Tecumseh. He operated his lumberyard and furniture-making business right next door to his house. The house was currently unoccupied and in disrepair until it was purchased by new owners in 2013, who are fully renovating it and expect to be finished in 2014.[2]
