Hint #2: One of the guesses so far is on the right track.

President Garfield's house in Ohio, where he launched his presidential campaign?

(Shamelessly feeding off Steve) President Garfield's house, where he died? .... no, wrong! just checked his home was/is in Ohio and he died in New Jersey.

A birthplace?

I'm betting that Steve is correct.

Good guesses so far but none correct.

Hint #3: It does involve a President of the United States, but it's not Garfield.

You said someone was on the right track in an earlier clue. If it house is unrelated to Presidents Lincoln or Garfield; then either it's somehow connected to Grant or a marriage of a President (or the marriage of one of his family members) took place there? I've looked at the images of a bunch of different Grant houses in different places and none seem to match - so I'm guessing a marriage place associated with a President?

I am sorry, Steve, but that's not it. The correct answer does not involve a marriage.

Neither birth nor marriage - so death instead?

The house McKinley died in?

Eva, yes, and congratulations to Steve - it is the home in Buffalo, New York, where President William McKinley died. McKinley spent the night in the Milburn house when he first traveled to Buffalo for the Pan-American Exposition. And he was taken back to that house after he was shot by Leon Frank Czolgosz on September 6, 1901 ("President's Day" at the Exposition). McKinley lingered for about a week, but finally succumbed while still at the Milburn house.

John G. Milburn was president of the Pan-American Exposition.

Once again Robert Lincoln was in the vicinity of a presidential assassination.

Here is the Wikimedia Commons picture of the Milburn house:

The home has since been demolished. A plaque has been placed where the house once stood:

Excellent, Mike! Yes, the image depicts the mob attacking the warehouse in Alton, Illinois, where Elijah Lovejoy's printing press was stored. The event happened on November 7, 1837. Lovejoy was a minister and abolitionist newspaper editor, and he was shot and killed by a pro-slavery mob which attacked the warehouse and destroyed the printing press. Abraham Lincoln was critical of mob violence in his 1838 Lyceum Address.

No Googling images.
