The Robert J. Whaley House is a historic house in Flint, Michigan. Originally built in the 1870s, the house is named for Citizens Bank president Robert Whaley, who occupied the house beginning in 1884.[1] A previous house on the site is attached to the southeast side of the current house. The house has been used as a museum since 1974.[3] In 2015, the third floor of the house was damaged by fire.[4][5]

The house was listed as a Michigan State Historic Site in 1977 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[2]
