The William V. N. Barlow House is on South Clinton Street in Albion, New York, United States.

It is a brick building erected in the 1870s in an eclectic mix of contemporary architectural styles, including Second Empire, Italianate, and Queen Anne.

A large two-tone newel has a niche for a gas light and intricate carvings in a floral pattern.

The gas fireplace has a walnut frontispiece with more floral carvings, geometric forms and an intricate cast iron grill.

[2] In the rear of the house is one of the few remaining water wells, with hand pump, left in Albion.

It is a one-and-a-half-story frame gabled structure with exposed rafter ends, sided in clapboard with vertical flushboard between the two floors.

After apprenticing to a carpenter in Brockport, he moved to Albion in 1833 and began his career as architect and builder.

Over the next half-century, he designed some of the village's most significant buildings, such as the Swan Library and the county courthouse, earning the nickname "High-Rickety" for the many cupolas on them.

The exterior and, especially, the interior, reflect a love of surface decoration as espoused in the works of Charles Eastlake.

Five decades later, in 1975, the woodshed was converted into a family room using materials similar to the original house.
