W.H. Dorrance House is a historic home located at Camden in Oneida County, New York. According to town records, it was built about 1880 (not 1900 as the National Register or Historic Places application incorrectly states) and is an irregularly massed, 2+12-story wood-frame structure in the Queen Anne style. The architect was Utica, NY-based M.H. Hubbard. It features an engaged circular tower with conical roof.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]

An article in the Daily Mail of London on June 15, 2015 claimed that the house is haunted. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3124453/Google-captures-ghostly-images-windows-haunted-house-owners-abandoned-trying-sell.html
