The Susan B. Anthony House is a historic house museum at 17 Madison Street in Rochester, New York, United States. The two-story Italianate brick house was the home of women's suffrage leader Susan B. Anthony from 1866 until her death in 1906, and is the site where she was arrested in 1872 for voting illegally in a federal election. The house was designated a National Historic Landmark on June 23, 1965, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966. It has been operated as a museum since 1945 by a nonprofit corporation, Susan B. Anthony Museum & House, Inc.
The museum campus includes three buildings and draws approximately 13,000 visitors annually, a figure constrained by the house's 35-person fire occupancy limit. A planned expansion at a nearby site is expected to increase annual capacity to 30,000–50,000 visitors.
