The Gustav Stickley House is a house built in 1900 in Syracuse, New York which is regarded as the first American Craftsman house for its interior design. In 1903, after a fire, its interior was renovated by Gustav Stickley who is known for his furniture and other contributions in the American American Craftsman movement.[1]

Views of the interior and plans were published in 1903 in The Craftsman, a magazine that Stickley founded in 1901. A reprint of the article appears in the NRHP nomination document.[1]

Stickley lived in the house during 1900-1905, and the third floor was revised to serve as an apartment for him in the 1920s.[1]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[2]

On the exterior, it does not appear more remarkable than many other houses on the block and in the greater neighborhood, which covers a hillside leading up to Syracuse University.
