English cottage revival, English Vernacular Revival.
This duplex resembles a transition between English Cottage and Bungalow Ranch. The roof is moderately pitched with a wide, front-facing gabled projecting. This wing is 3 bays wide. The entire façade is 5 bays (2W, D, 2W, 3W, W) with two entry doors: one within an arched opening on a diminutive front-gabled projecting stoop; the second on the side leading from an entry porch with shed roof and decorative metal posts inset into a front ell. The front gable features two 1/4-round wood louvered vents. The rear features two gabled bays that project slightly creating a u-shape.
According to the Rawson Circle Walking Tour Guide, this house was constructed as a duplex by Mrs. George (Martha) Nall. It featured wooden floors throughout, even in the kitchen, which was rare at that time. Mrs. Nall, a granddaughter of H.M. MacIntosh, founder of the Albany Herald, worked at the paper as its first Society editor.
