The George Pick House is a historic house at 970 Sheridan Road in Highland Park, Illinois. The house was built in the early twentieth century for businessman George Pick. Prolific Chicago architect Howard Van Doren Shaw, who also designed several other homes in Highland Park, designed the house.

The house's features include carved limestone birds, gables with decorative bargeboards, and an arcade at the entrance.[2][3]
