The Kate Mullany House was the home of Kate Mullany (1845–1906), an early female labor leader who started the all-women Collar Laundry Union in Troy, New York in February 1864. It was one of the first women's unions that lasted longer than the resolution of a specific issue.
The house was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1998. It is now a National Historic Site.
It is located at 350 8th Street in Troy, just off NY 7 two blocks east of the Collar City Bridge.

“For splendor, there must somewhere be rigid economy. That the head of the house may go brave, the members must be plainly clad, and the town must save that the State may spend.”
