The Oscar Carlson House is a historic house in rural Morris County, Kansas, southwest of the community of Burdick. Carpenter Swen Johnson built the house for Oscar and Anna Carlson in 1930; Anna contributed several pieces of the design. The one-and-a-half story house has a bungalow design with a gable roof, projecting cross gabled bays, and a full-width front porch, all typical elements of the style. The house included technology that was considered modern for the time, including a windmill-powered running water system and electric wiring; the latter could not be used until 1944, when electric lines reached the area. Anna's plan for the basement included a laundry room with a washing machine, a stove for cooking and heating laundry water, and chutes for laundry, garbage, and dust. As of 2000, the Carlson family's descendants still owned and lived in the house.[2]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 26, 2000.[1]
