Crane House and Museum, House museum in Montclair, United States.

The Crane House and Museum features federal-style architecture with Greek Revival elements, including a curved staircase and classical columns at 110 Orange Road.

Israel Crane constructed this residence in 1796 on 86 acres of farmland, establishing it as his family home while developing various industries in the region.

The building served as headquarters for African American women's YWCA from 1920 to 1965, providing dormitories and social spaces for the local community.

The museum displays collections of 18th, 19th, and 20th-century furniture, paintings, and decorative arts, offering public tours throughout the building.

Local residents saved the structure from demolition in 1965 by relocating it one mile from its original location on Glen Ridge Avenue.
