The Dr. George Ashley House is a historic house located at 40 W. 2nd North in Paris, Idaho. The house was built in the early 1890s for Dr. George Ashley, Jr., a local physician who established the Bear Lake Valley's first hospital. The house's Queen Anne design was likely inspired by Paris' J. R. Shepherd House. The front porch features an Eastlake-inspired spindlework balustrade and eave, pierced brackets, and ring-and-ball supporting columns. The ell to the left of the front door has a tent roof, an uncommon roof form for an ell-shaped frame house.
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 18, 1982.
