The John Robertson Jr. House is a historic house at 145 W. Main Street in Barrington, Illinois. The house was built in 1898 for John Robertson Jr., a local banker and a member of Barrington's village board. Carpenter Fred Lines built the house, which has an American Foursquare plan with Neoclassical details. The -story house has a roughly rectangular layout with a service addition, front and side porches, and a dormer projecting from the front of its hip roof, a typical Foursquare layout. Its Neoclassical elements include Corinthian columns supporting the porches, swags and garlands adorning several windows, and multiple Palladian windows.[2]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 22, 2014.[1]
