President's House, Presidential residence at Clemson University, South Carolina, US
The President's House is the official residence for Clemson University's president and their family. The structure combines classical architectural elements with contemporary living standards and sits prominently on the main campus grounds.
The current building was constructed in the 1950s and replaced an earlier presidential residence from the late 1800s. Over the decades, it has been updated several times to meet evolving needs and standards.
Each year new students are invited to a picnic on the lawn in front of the house, where they meet the university president for the first time. The house has been home to eight Clemson presidents since 1959.
The building sits at the campus entrance and is easily spotted from the main approach routes. As a private residence, interior access is restricted, but visitors can view the exterior and grounds from public campus areas.
The house stands at 120 Cherry Road, the first building seen when arriving on campus from I-85. It was built in 1959 to match the design of Fort Hill Plantation and covers about 7,553 square feet, with construction work again in 1976 and 1998.
