Montauk, Italianate mansion in Clermont, United States.

The Montauk building stands on a hill with 14 rooms, constructed from local bricks and stone from a nearby Clermont quarry.

William Larrabee, the 12th governor of Iowa, commissioned architect E. Townsend Mix to design this residence, which was completed in 1874.

The interior displays numerous paintings by artists Louise Elisabeth Vigee Le Brun and David John Cue, including multiple family portraits.

Visitors can access Montauk from Memorial Day through Labor Day between noon and 4:00 PM, with autumn hours limited to weekends.

The name Montauk references Montauk Point Light, chosen by Mrs. Larrabee who selected the elevated location to prevent malaria exposure.
