Located in Baraboo, Wisconsin, the Walworth D. Porter Duplex Residence is a Queen Anne style double house built in 1894 as a rental property by developer Walworth D. Porter. Clad in clapboard and wood shingle siding, the structure exhibits characteristic Queen Anne irregularity with reflection symmetry, an oriel window, and an arched entrance porch featuring decorative woodwork on each unit, topped by a prominent dormer on the front facade. The interior remains substantially intact with ornamental woodwork and decorative tile fireplaces in both units. The building housed middle-class workers, notably including Charles Ringling, one of the Ringling Brothers circus founders, who occupied the east unit as the first tenant. A rare surviving example of Baraboo's side-by-side duplex housing stock, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
