George Clayson House, Second Empire residence in Palatine, Illinois
The George Clayson House stands as a wood-frame structure featuring a prominent mansard roof, with two floors containing multiple rooms and a brick foundation.
Built in 1873, this residence belonged to George Clayson, a carpenter and orchard owner who served on the Palatine Board of Trustees until 1881.
The interior layout reflects late 19th-century American domestic life with its parlor, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, library, and five upstairs bedrooms.
The museum opens three days per week - Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays - under the management of the Palatine Historical Society and Park District.
The property represents one of less than twenty-four structures in Palatine that have existed for more than 125 years.
