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. Its interior features highly intricate Eastlake style woodwork.
It was the home of a prominent local architect who designed many major buildings in Albion. In 1983 it and an accompanying barn, since converted into a garage, were added to the National Register of Historic Places. It is one of two houses in Albion so designated (the other is the Greek Revival Tousley-Church House).
The house is located on a 1-acre (0.40 ha) lot on the east side of South Clinton Street, one block south of West Avenue (state highway NY 31) and a block west of South Main Street (NY 98). The terrain is generally level. The surrounding neighborhood is residential, with many late 19th- and early 20th-century houses that retain less integrity. To the north and west are industrial areas. A woodlot separates the houses on Clinton from those on South Main to the east.
The building itself is a two-story brick structure on a Medina sandstone foundation. On the west (front) facade is a projecting pavilion with two-and-half-story tower. It is topped with a mansard roof pierced by gabled dormer windows. There are porches on the north and east sides.
