The W.C. Ball House, also known as the George W. Ball House/William M. DuBois House, is a historic residence located in Fairfield, Iowa, United States. Built on the edge of town around 1876 for W.C. and Mary Ball, the house is a transitional structure between the Italianate vernacular and that of the later Victorian picturesque styles. The 2½-story frame house features bracketed eaves, a full-height bay section on the south elevation, cornice returns, a high-pitched roof, facade gable, crenellations and finials on the ridges. A prominent feature of the house are its three porches: a kitchen porch on west side, a dining room porch on south, and wrap-around porch on southeast. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
