Clarendon House, Historic residence in Clarendon, United States.

Clarendon House is a three-story brick former hotel in Clarendon Springs, nine bays wide and five deep, with a gabled roof and two rows of gabled dormers on one side and one row on the other. Its gable ends and parts of the third floor are wood-framed and clad in clapboards. A three-story porch on Doric columns wraps around three sides.

Thomas McLaughlin built the Clarendon House around 1835 as a two-story hotel to serve visitors to the mineral springs, known since the 18th century. It was enlarged in the 1850s, drawing guests mainly from the southern states, and railroad construction through the area boosted the trade. The Civil War ruined that business; postwar attempts failed as tastes changed, and the building later held a restaurant and an antiques business, operating as an antiques shop since 1973.

The building's name comes from Clarendon Springs, the rural hamlet around it, whose mineral springs were known since the 18th century for their restorative powers. Thomas McLaughlin built the hotel about 1835 to draw on that spring trade. Since 1973 the structure has housed an antiques business.

The building stands on the east side of Walker Mountain Road in Clarendon Springs, on the west bank of the Clarendon River. It and the adjacent buildings were vacant and for sale as of 2015, so the exterior is what can be seen; the three-story Doric porch wraps around three sides.

Thomas McLaughlin built the hotel around 1835 to profit from the mineral springs, which had been known since the 18th century for their restorative powers. Guests came mainly from the southern states, drawn by the railroad, and the Civil War ruined that trade.
