Wilbur House is a historic home located on Main street in Fairport in Monroe County, New York. It is a Second Empire–style structure built about 1873 that features a two-bay, 2-story tower that projects from the northeast corner of the 1 ¹⁄₂-story front section. The tower, as well as the rest of the front section, is covered by a decorative fish scale and octagonal slate mansard roof. Also on the property is a contributing carriage house.^[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.^[1]

Hiram P. Wilbur was the superintendent (some say the first such) of the westernmost section of the Erie Canal, and also the postmaster for the town of Perinton.^[3] The home he built in 1873 later served as a boarding school before reverting to a private residence.^[4] The house is currently 3,792 square feet (352.3 m²) with five bedrooms. Many of the historic details have been retained, including speaking tubes for intra-house communication.^[4]
