Parkhill House is a student residence located at the southeastern corner near the intersection of Avenue J and 20th Street.

Residence Life classifies the two-story small house as a part of the "The Valley"; it was formerly classified as part of "Four Central."

The history of Parkhill House is somewhat nondescript as it is one of only a few small houses not used for university offices or a fraternity or sorority since its construction.
