The Simeon E. Dow House (also known as the Dow House) is a historic house located on Prince Street in Dow City, Iowa.

The two-story, 13-room, red brick house was built in 1872 by Simon E. Dow (Simeon E. Dow), who in 1869 co-founded Dow City and later became one of its leading businessmen.[2] In 1970, it was bought by the Crawford County Conservation Board to be restored and is now open for public tours.
