Philetus S. Church House, Greek Revival residence in Sugar Island, Michigan, United States.

The Philetus S. Church House stands on North Shore Road, featuring classical architectural elements with symmetrical design and traditional wooden construction methods.

Built in 1862 by Jesse Wells Church for his parents, this structure remains as the final remnant of Church's Landing, a nineteenth-century trading post.

The house represents a connection between European settlers and Native American communities through its role as part of a significant trading establishment.

The building maintains its status on the National Register of Historic Places since 1982, with reference number 82000495 for historical documentation purposes.

Two docks, a sawmill, dry-dock, and shipyard once surrounded this house, which received visits from notable figures including Horace Greeley and Mary Todd Lincoln.
