Shippen House is a historic home located at Shippensburg in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. It is a large 2½-story, limestone building, built in three phases. The oldest section, built about 1750, measures 28 feet wide and 32 feet deep. A two-bay addition was built in 1785, and a two-story, brick rear addition was built in 1935 as part of a major restoration effort. A classical porch was also added in 1935. The original house was built by Edward Shippen, III (1703-1781), who laid out Shippensburg and occupied the house on periodic visits to his trading companies.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. It is located in the Shippensburg Historic District.
