The Floyd and Glenora Dycus House is a historic house located at 305 S. Second St. in Brownstown, Illinois. The house was built in 1926 for Floyd and Glenora Dycus.

The entrance to the house is in a full-length front porch supported by tapered columns. The house has an intersecting roof pattern which features a half-hipped component protruding from a gable roof.[2]
