Fillmore House, Historical residence in East Aurora, New York, United States.
Fillmore House is a residential building in East Aurora constructed from wood with a clapboard exterior and a gabled roof. The front features a porch supported by cylindrical columns, creating a welcoming entrance to the structure.
Construction began in 1826 when the original owner was starting a law career and years before achieving higher office. The building was physically moved twice during its existence, with a final relocation happening in the 20th century.
The house displays furnishings and household items from the early 1800s that reflect how people in political life lived at that time. Visitors can see personal spaces arranged as they would have been during this era, offering insight into domestic routines.
The site is open from spring through fall with tours available by advance reservation only. Combined tickets can be purchased that include access to other nearby historical properties in the area.
The building experienced two separate relocations during its lifetime, an unusual journey for a residential structure of its era. An artist was responsible for moving it to its present location in the 1930s and used it afterward as a creative workspace.
