The Gillespie-Hall House 

1006 Gordon Drive SE 

c. 1929

This stunning Colonial Revival home majestically sits at 1006 Gordon Drive SE just across the street from Albany’s iconic Delano Park. Colonial Revival was the dominant style in the early 20th century. The restoration of Colonial Williamsburg in 1926 largely influenced this style and ensured the design remained in the public interest for many years. Constructed in 1929, the earliest recorded residents of the home were Thomas H. and Faustine C. Fitzpatrick. Thomas managed the McGough Baking Company, a commercial bakery located on Grant Street. Purchased in 2020, this stately two-story home is the current home of Tony Gillespie and Perry Hall. It exemplifies the Colonial Revival style with its prominent front entry, accented front door, side-gabled roof, and paired front windows. The exterior façade also supports spectacular flanking porticos on the second floor. With its original hardwood floors, fireplaces, and moldings, the interior of this home is breathtaking and sure to leave tour-goers amazed by its beauty. The furnishings complement the design of the home and provide an updated look while remaining true to the home’s historical roots. Let your imagination take over as you take in the elegance of this 20th-century home and its grand furnishings. Tony and Perry invite you to visit their home on this year’s Christmas Tour to view and enjoy their exquisite style and décor.
