La Farge Land Office, also known as Orleans Hotel, is a historic commercial building located at Orleans in Jefferson County, New York. It was built about 1825 and is a 2-story, five-by-three-bay, side-gabled limestone building in the Federal style. A 1 12-story stone wing extends from the rear of the house and a 1-story wooden addition was completed in 1910. It was built by land speculator and French merchant John La Farge, as a land office, residence, and hotel. He used it until he returned to New York City in 1838.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1]
