Nut Grove

Nut Grove is a brick house featuring Greek Revival elements in Albany, built in 1845 with symmetrical proportions and traditional architectural details throughout. The structure sits on McCarty Avenue and now serves as residential space within the Addictions Care Center of Albany.

The house was built in 1845 for William Walsh and designed by architect Alexander Jackson Davis, who applied classical design principles. Later it was converted into a hospital for incurable patients, a use that ended in 1973.

The property shows how Greek Revival architecture became part of American residential design in the Hudson Valley during the 1800s, with homeowners of that era adopting classical forms for their houses.

The building is located on McCarty Avenue in an easily accessible area and can be seen from the street. Since it now serves as residential space for a care center, viewing it from the outside is recommended.

The house is the only Greek Revival work by Alexander Jackson Davis in the Hudson Valley and shows a rare variation of this style for country residences. This distinction makes it a notable example of the architect's design work in the region.
