The Samuel Nickerson House in the Near North Side neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois is a Chicago Landmark. The house, built in 1883, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

After the 1871 Great Chicago Fire, the Near North Side became a fashionable neighborhood for business owners. The house was built for Samuel Nickerson, the founder of the First National Bank of Chicago as well as having interests in liquor and wine businesses and an explosives company. The house is decorated with a large amount of marble (giving it the nickname of "Marble Palace"), carved and inlaid wood, tile, mosaics, and hand-tooled leather.[2]
