The Parish House, at 109 S. F St. in Virginia City, Nevada, is a well-preserved historic Italianate-style house that was built in 1876. It is included in the Virginia City Historic District. It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.

It was deemed significant for association with persons who lived there, and for its architecture. Persons lived there served the more successful who lived "on the Comstock" and included:

  • Goodwin Jones, an engineer for the Caledonia Mine, one of the Comstock Lode mines
  • Robert Patterson, proprietor of the International Saloon
  • Dr. Thomas McDonald, a physician
  • John McGrath, a merchant on C Street
  • The house was used as the parish house, i.e. rectory, of St. Mary's during 1935-1970, hence its name.
