Espy House, also known as David Espy House or Gen. Arthur St. Clair Office is a house in Bedford, Pennsylvania. The house is significant for its association with American Revolutionary War General Arthur St. Clair and for its use by George Washington when putting down the Whiskey Rebellion.

David Espy "was the prothonotary of Bedford County in 1778 and the owner of the house when Washington stayed there in 1794."[4] David Espy was also a Freemason and served as Junior Warden when Bedford Lodge No. 48 A.Y.M. was warranted in 1790.[5]

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1983.[3][4]
