The Clinton House is a historic building located in downtown Ithaca, New York. It is built primarily in the Greek Revival style, common in older buildings in Ithaca. It currently houses offices, a small theater, and the ticket office for many of the local music and theater venues. It is directly adjacent to the Ithaca Commons.
The Clinton House was originally built in 1828-1829 as an upscale hotel and Ithaca's first professional office building, with 150 rooms an immense undertaking for the then 4,000 strong population of Ithaca. It was named for DeWitt Clinton, governor of New York from 1817–1822 and again from 1824–1827. At least 4 U.S. presidents have stayed in its rooms, as well as numerous film actors from Ithaca's brief heyday as a center for the film industry.
