Ethel Wilson Harris House, Modern house near Mission San Jose, San Antonio, US

The Ethel Wilson Harris House is a two-story frame, stone and concrete house of about 2,000 square feet, built in 1956 just outside the perimeter walls of Mission San Jose. Designed by Robert Harris in a Modern Movement or Wrightian manner, it resembles a Usonian house. It was documented in the Historic American Buildings Survey and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 3 April 2001 for its architecture.

The house was designed in 1956 by architect Robert Harris as an expression of American mid-century modernism. Its inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places in 2001 acknowledged its architectural importance and role in shaping modern residential design in the region.

Ethel Wilson Harris supervised Arts & Crafts projects for the Works Progress Administration in San Antonio, and two of her tile murals are on the San Antonio River Walk. The house she built in 1956 keeps her link to that public art visible for visitors who know where to look along the river.

The house stands outside the perimeter walls of Mission San Jose, within San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, about 2,000 square feet in size. It is a private residence, so visitors see it from the outside; combine the stop with the mission itself and the park's other sites.

The house was recorded by the Historic American Buildings Survey, a documentation programme that measures and photographs notable American structures.
