Kingsbury-Doak Farmhouse, also known as the Steele Farmhouse, is a historic home located in Eagle Creek Township, Lake County, Indiana. The house was built in two sections. The older section was built in the 1860s, and is a simple 1 1/2-story, frame structure that now forms the rear wing. The two-story, Italianate style frame section was added in the 1880s. It has a cross-gable roof with overhanging eaves and sits on a fieldstone foundation. It features windows with unique decorative pedimented hoods.[2]:5
