Elihu Root House, National Historic Landmark house in Clinton, New York.
The Elihu Root House stands on College Hill Road within Hamilton College campus, featuring a Federal-style architecture with symmetrical design and colonial elements.
Built in 1817 as a professor residence, the house became home to statesman Elihu Root from 1893 to 1937 during his service as Secretary of War and State.
The residence represents the connection between American political leadership and academic institutions, as Root maintained close ties with Hamilton College throughout his career.
The house maintains its original structural elements, including the east side portico, servants quarters, and modified Victorian features from the 1893 renovation.
Hamilton College acquired this property in 1979, preserving the residence where Nobel Peace Prize recipient Elihu Root developed major U.S. military reforms.
