Kruger House, National Register of Historic Places property in California, United States.

The Kruger House, also called the C.B. White House, stands at 10292 Donner Pass Road in Truckee's Brickelltown neighborhood, west of downtown. Built in 1873–1874, the two-story Queen Anne Eastlake Victorian mansion has molded trim, fretwork and stained-glass windows. It now houses a restaurant and specialty store.

William Henry Kruger, half-owner of the Truckee Lumber Company, built the mansion in 1873–1874 for his wife and six children, reportedly importing fourteen Austrian craftsmen. From 1912 to the late 1920s the White family ran it as the White House Hotel, serving early automobile travelers over Donner Pass. After decades of neglect, Zena Krakowsky restored it over seven years, and in 1982 it became the first property in the area listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Locals call it the White House after the White family, who ran the White House Hotel here from 1912 to the late 1920s; their original hotel register, begun in July 1912, and the old hotel sign were later given to the Truckee-Donner Historical Society. The building now holds a restaurant and specialty store.

The building is subject to special guidelines for repairs and renovations to preserve its historical features. Visitors should check in advance whether the property is publicly accessible or can only be viewed from outside.
