The Edris House is a mid-century modern house designed by E. Stewart Williams in Palm Springs, California for William and Majorie Edris in 1954. The house is situated on a rocky outcrop, with the exterior of the house clad in wood.[2][3] Edris was the owner of the Fairmont Olympic Hotel in Seattle, Washington.[4]

The house was later owned by J. R. Roberts, former managing director of the Palm Springs Art Museum and Design Center.[5]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.
