Fillmore House

The Fillmore House, or Millard Fillmore House, is a historic house museum at 24 Shearer Avenue in East Aurora in Erie County, New York. Built in 1826, it was from then until 1830 the residence of the 13th President of the United States, Millard Fillmore. Moved twice and significantly altered, it is the only surviving building other than the White House associated with Fillmore's life. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1974. The house is owned by the Aurora Historical Society and has been decorated with period furnishings. As of 2015, it is open to the public from June through October on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays from 1-4.
The Fillmore House stands on the east side of Shearer Avenue north of Main Street, west of the village center of East Aurora. It is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. A shed-roof porch with round columns extends across the three-bay front facade. A brick chimney rises on the right side, and a series of single-story ells, not original to the building, extend to the rear. The building is not architecturally distinguished.
