The Dr. Adam Mosgrove House is a historic house in Urbana, Ohio, United States. Located along Miami Street (U.S. Route 36^[2]) on the city's western side,^[1] it was built in 1833 as the home of physician Adam Mosgrove, one of Urbana's first doctors. A native of Enniskillen in Ireland, Mosgrove immigrated to the United States in 1816; he moved to Urbana after living in Elizabethtown and Lancaster, Ohio.^[3]:120

A two-and-one-half-story structure, the brick house is a simple rectangle built upon a stone foundation.^[3]:120 Its style is predominately Federal, although the entrance is strongly Greek Revival,^[3]:119 featuring pilasters topped with Doric capitals.^[3]:120 As one of Urbana's oldest houses,^[3]:119 and as the home of one of its leading early citizens, the Mosgrove House has been seen as historically significant;^[3]:120 for this reason, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.^[1]
