Harvey Whalen House is a historic home located in the town of Penfield in Monroe County, New York. The brick building, constructed in 1875, consists of a 2+12-story, three-bay, Victorian Gothic main block with attached Second Empire tower and 1-story brick addition. Also on the property are three contributing structures; two barns (now garages) and a shed.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1]

Harvey Whalen, a farmer and Penfield town Poormaster, left the house and surrounding Maple Hill Farm to his sons.[3] Of the three sons (Howard, Charles, and H. Wilson Whalen), two went on to serve terms as Penfield town supervisor.[3] Later owners included the Footer family and the Simonetti family.[3]
