William Erwin House, also known as the Imperial Club, was a historic home located at Riverside, Steuben County, New York. It was built between 1850 and 1852, and was a two-story, Greek Revival style brick dwelling. It was a triple-front, temple form building with three major porticoes supported by four four fluted Corinthian order columns. It had two projecting rear wings that formed a "U", that was filled in around 1914. In 1914, the house was acquired by Ingersoll Rand and converted to a recreation center. The house suffered damage due to flooding from Hurricane Agnes in 1972.[2]: 2, 7  The house was destroyed by fire in 1982 after being struck by lightning.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and delisted in 1985.[1]
