Philip Houston House is a historic building currently used as a lodging establishment in Rexford, Kansas, United States. It was built in 1906 in Gem, Kansas by Philip Sherman Houston, a landowner and banker who was an early Thomas County pioneer, and later moved[when?] to the location in Rexford.[1][2][3][4] It is owned by The Shepherd's Staff, a conference venue in Rexford.

The establishment is styled in Queen Anne Victorian architecture. It is furnished with vintage décor — such as lace curtains, crystal chandeliers, antiques and original woodwork. It has three bedrooms, a library and a veranda.[1][4]

The house was added to the Kansas Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1][4]
