English: Canfield Casino, located at 1 East Congress Streets in Congress Park, Saratoga Springs, New York, consists of three buildings in the Renaissance Revival style: the main building (built in 1870), the east wing (1871), and the kitchen and dining wing (1902-1903), the last designed by Clarence Luce. The original architect of what was called the Saratoga Clubhouse is unknown. Currently, the Historical Society of Saratoga Springs operates the Saratoga Springs History Museum on the second and third floors and an art gallery in the former reading room and office, and the parlor is used for concerts, lectures, seminars and private events. The ballroom is utilized for weddings, proms, political rallies and community forums.

After Richard Canfield bought the Saratoga Clubhouse in 1894, he installed formal gardens, called Canfield Park, which was included when he sold the casino to the city in 1911. The city then combined the casino and its grounds with the grounds of the demolished Congress Hotel and the Congress Spring Bottling Company to create Congress Park in 1913.

The Canfield Casino and Congress Park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 as the Casino-Congress Park-Circular Street Historic District, and then reduced in size and made a National Historic Landmark in 1987.
