The Nathaniel S. Wheeler House is a private residence located at 7075 M-50 (known locally as West Monroe Street) just north of the village of Onsted in rural Cambridge Township in Lenawee County, Michigan. It was designated as a Michigan Historic Site on July 26, 1974 and later added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 24, 1975.^[1][2]

The cobblestone Wheeler House was built in approximately 1845 by one of Cambridge Township's earliest settlers, Nathaniel Wheeler (1808–1871), who moved from Amenia, New York in 1833. The house is a 2½ story Greek Revival structure that contains both a front and rear porch, and it was once attached to a much larger 500 acre (202 ha) farm.^[2] Wheeler and his family sold the farm in 1869 and resettled elsewhere in the county.^[3] The house has since gone through a series of owners and remains privately owned.^[2]
