Lansdown-Higgins House, also known as the Riggins House, Kerl House, and Sommerer House, is a historic home located near Jefferson City, Cole County, Missouri. The original section was built about 1830, and was a 1+12-story dogtrot house of hewn log construction. The house achieved its present form about 1854, and is a two-story, three-bay, Greek Revival style frame I-house with a central passage plan. It features an imposing two-story pedimented portico supported by square Doric order columns and massive chimneys of gray limestone.[2]: 5 

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
