The Walworth D. Porter Duplex Residence is located in Baraboo, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.^[1]

Developer Walworth D. Porter built the duplex in 1894 as a rental property. The building has a Queen Anne style design with an irregular layout featuring reflection symmetry, clapboard and wood shingle siding, an oriel window and arched entrance porch with decorative woodwork on each unit, and a large dormer atop the front facade. The interior is generally intact and includes ornamental woodwork and fireplaces with decorative tiling in each unit. Duplex housing in Baraboo typically housed middle-class workers, especially those employed by the growing Ringling Brothers Circus; Charles Ringling, one of the Ringling Brothers, was the first tenant in the east unit. The building is a rare surviving example of side-by-side duplex housing in Baraboo.^[2]
