Knower House is a historic home located at Guilderland in Albany County, New York. It was built about 1800 and is a two-story frame house in the Georgian Colonial style. It accentuates a centroidal entrance and second story Palladian window. While occupied by Benjamin Knower, future New York Governor William L. Marcy married Cornelia Knower at the house in 1824.[2]

A historical marker in front of the house states:

"Knower House

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
