Steephill is a historic home located at Staunton, Virginia. It was built in 1877-1878 in the Gothic Revival style, and remodeled in 1926-1927 in the Georgian Revival style. The central portion of the house (the "original" house) is a 2 1/2-story, three bay, brick structure slightly recessed from the wings. The central section has a standing-seam metal gable roof with three gabled dormers. Flanking the central block are two, two-story wings.[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
