The W. T. Bailey House is a historic house in Virginia, Minnesota, United States. It was built around 1921 in Spanish Colonial Revival style for the founder of Bailey Lumber Mill, the city's second-largest lumber company.[2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 for its local significance in the themes of architecture, commerce, and industry.[3] It was nominated for its association with a prominent businessman in one of Virginia's primary industries, and for illustrating the correlation between "wealth and prominence in the mining and lumbering regions and large and architecturally distinctive residences".[2]
