The Squire Michael Porter House was a Greek Revival house located at 3427 Jacob Road in Sharon Township, Michigan. It was included in the Historic American Building Survey in 1937.

History
The farm where this house once stood was settled by Squire Michael Porter in 1834. Porter was District Supervisor in 1839-1840. Porter built a farmhouse in about 1842. Some time later the farm was later settled by the Keller family from Connecticut. They constructed a stone barn, likely in about 1853. At some point before 1936, the house was moved to the rear of the farmyard and used as a tool shed. The house eventually burned down.

The house sat on a stone foundation. The associated barn is constructed of split stone with brick quoins. The barn has six-over-six rectangular windows, and a front gable roof.
