M'Clintock House

M'Clintock House, also known as the Baptist Parsonage, is a historic brick house in Waterloo, in Seneca County, New York. It is a two-story dwelling in the Federal style, built between 1833 and 1836. From 1836 to 1856 it was the home of the Quaker pharmacist Thomas M'Clintock and his wife Mary Ann. The house is best known for what happened in it on July 16, 1848, when the Declaration of Sentiments and other resolutions and speeches were drawn up there for the First Women's Rights Convention that followed at Seneca Falls. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and is now one of the sites of Women's Rights National Historical Park, where the restored mid-19th century home is open for tours in summer. The architecture is modest and domestic, and its importance rests on its history as a place of reform rather than on its design.
