The Edward F. Niehaus House is a historic private residence built in 1889 in the West Berkeley neighborhood of Berkeley, California, U.S.. [1] It is listed by the city as a Berkeley Landmark (no.11), since June 21, 1976. [2]

The Edward F. Niehaus House was built in 1889, in an Stick-Eastlake style with decorative relief patterns. [4] It is considered as "West Berkeley’s grandest surviving Victorian residence".
