The LaFollette House (also known as Glen Oaks[2]) is a historic house in LaFollette, Tennessee, U.S.A.. It was built in the 1890s for Grant LaFollette and Harvey Marion LaFollette, two brothers who owned the LaFollette Coal and Iron Company.[3] The LaFollette brothers also built the North Tennessee Railroad.[3] They sold the house to the Russell family in 1930.[3] It was later sold to the Rogers family and still later to the Stone family. In September 2020 the home sold to the current residents.

The house was designed in the Victorian architectural style.[3] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since May 29, 1975.[4]
