The Harry Merrill House, also known as the Harrington–Merrill House, is a historic house in Hutchinson, Minnesota, United States. The house is the oldest wood-framed structure in Hutchinson and one of the oldest in McLeod County. It was built in 1858 by Lewis Harrington, then occupied 1886 to 1932 by Harry Merrill, who served as superintendent of local schools for 33 years.[2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012 for having local significance in the theme of education.[3] It was nominated for its association with Harry Merrill, arguably the single most important educator in Hutchinson's history.[4]
