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

It was deemed significant "as an excellent, highly intact example of a type of Queen Anne style duplex residence that was especially associated with the middle class of its day, a type that was and is a rare part of Baraboo's architectural heritage. The building has all the typical features of a Queen Anne style house of its time such as an irregular plan, a mix of siding materials such as clapboard and decorative wood shingles, porches decorated with turned posts and other features. In addition, the duplex also has a largely original and quite intact interior that adds considerably to the overall significance of the building."[2]
