Morris House is a 3-story brick commercial building on Block 107H at 2325–2327 Morris Avenue.

The former address for the building was 2321–2323 Morris Avenue. It was constructed in 1922, backing up to the L & N Railroad freight station on the city's Railroad Reservation. Until the early 1930s, it housed the Lee Bros. wholesale grocery on the west. The Fisk Tire Co. (1925) operated from the east bay in 1925, and was succeeded by the American Salad Dressing Co. before 1929

By 1932 the adjacent Buckeye Feed & Grain Co., wholesale dealers in feed, grain and cotton oil, had expanded into the building. After they closed, the space was used as overflow storage for Standard Sales Co..

During the 1970s revitalization of Morris Avenue as "Old Town Uptown", the building housed the Morris House restaurant and nightclub. After it closed, the building was remodeled and offered as the Morris House Apartments, and now Morris House Lofts.
