Wilson House, also known as Old Jail and Yorkville Jail, is a historic home located at York, York County, South Carolina. It is attributed to Robert Mills and was built in 1828. It is a three-story, brick building originally designed as a local jail. It features brick arches and a semi-circular fanlight. It was converted into a residence in 1853, then used as a jail during the Reconstruction Era when Federal troops imprisoned Ku Klux Klan members.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
