The Roscoe Goose House is a historic house at 3012 South Third Street in Louisville, Kentucky. Built around 1891, it is a 2+12-story brick building with Italianate and later Victorian styling. It has a low-pitch hip roof with bracketed cornice, a wall dormer rising at the center of the front facade, a single-story porch that wraps across the front and around the left side, and a large arched window on the ground floor next to the main entrance.
