Nauvoo House, Historical museum in Nauvoo, Illinois, United States.
The Nauvoo House stands as a red brick structure near the Mississippi River, featuring original architectural elements from the 1840s construction period.
Construction of the Nauvoo House began in 1841 when Joseph Smith placed the original Book of Mormon manuscript in the building's cornerstone.
The museum preserves and displays artifacts and documents connected to the early Mormon settlement that established a community in this Illinois region.

The basement of the Nauvoo House temporarily held the remains of Joseph and Hyrum Smith in 1844 to protect them from potential grave robbers.
