The Dat So La Lee House, which is located at 331 W. Proctor St. in Carson City, Nevada, is a historic house that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was a home of Dat So La Lee (ca. 1845/1855–1925), a woman who also was known as Louisa Keyser, who was a well-known Washoe Indian basket weaver.^[2] The house, also known as the Louisa Keyser House, was listed on the National Register in 1994.^[1]^[3]

The house is a modest one-story board and batten cottage built by Abram Cohn, husband of Clarrise Amy Cohn, who was Louisa's promoter. At time of NRHP listing, the house was still a residence. It faces north onto West Proctor Street, but is set back about 40 feet behind a small lawn and parking area.^[3]
