The J. H. O'Rielly House is a historic Queen Anne style home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was built around 1904 by H. H. Tilton, a local real estate developer, and was originally rented to J. H. O'Rielly, who owned a drugstore and was also a manager at the Occidental Life Insurance Company. O'Rielly bought the house in 1909 and continued to live there until 1917.[3] The house was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1977 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[2]

The O'Rielly House is a two-story, hip-roofed building with a brick first floor and shingled frame second floor. It is rectangular in plan, with bay windows on the north and west elevations on either side of a corner porch which is oriented at 45 degrees to the rest of the house. The windows are wood-framed double-hung units; those on the first floor are set in arched openings with stone sills and some have ornamental stained glass panes. A two-story frame addition was constructed at the rear of the house sometime in the 1920s.[3]
