History
Upon completion in 1931 in the Tudor Revival architectural style the house was inhabited by H. H. Taylor, owner of the Fayetteville Daily Leader. Later the house was bought by Gilbert C. Swanson, who was married to Roberta Fulbright, sister of J. William Fulbright. On August 11, 1975, Bill Clinton purchased the house for $17,200.00. Both Bill and Hillary were teaching at the University of Arkansas School of Law in 1975, and they were married in the living room on October 11, 1975. Bill became Arkansas Attorney General in May 1976 and they sold the house in December 1976.
Clinton House Museum
The house operates as a museum and contains many pieces of Clinton election memorabilia from elections prior to his run for United States President. There is also a replica of Hillary's wedding dress on display. The house is located on what was once California Boulevard; the street was renamed Clinton Drive in 2010. The museum is one of four stops on the "Billgrimage", the other three being the Clinton Birthplace in Hope, Arkansas, the Hot Springs Visitors Center, and the Bill Clinton Presidential Library.
