The Albert Soffel House is a historic house at 508 N. 5th Avenue in Maywood, Illinois. The two flat house was built in 1905 for original owner Albert Soffel. It has an American Foursquare design, a utilitarian style popular in the early twentieth century, with Arts and Crafts and Neoclassical ornamentation. The house has a typical Foursquare plan with a rectangular layout, a front porch supported by three columns, and a hip roof with a dormer. Its decorative features include Ionic styling on the porch columns, dentillation and brackets on the porch roof, additional bracketing along its eaves, and multiple stained glass windows.[2]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 1992.[1]
