Walter Merchant House, Renaissance Revival house in Albany, United States.
The five-bay townhouse features a brownstone facade, segmental-arched windows, and an elaborate cornice at the roofline on Washington Avenue between Lark and Dove streets.
Built during the 1860s when Albany experienced population growth due to the Erie Canal completion, the house reflects urban residential architecture of wealthy residents.
The interior contains a central hall with a prominent staircase, parlors with marble mantelpieces, and chambers connected by small dressing rooms on upper levels.
The property currently functions as the main office for the New York chapter of the National Association of Social Workers after adaptations for modern use.
The property maintains one of the few remaining intact rear carriage houses in Albany, a two-story seven-bay brick building with multiple window patterns.
