George Franklin Barber notes edit

  • Check NRHP page for A.F. Dantzler House, Moss Point, MS. CS3 #134?
  • Is this house a Barber?[1] Also, there's too much going on in the commentary to figure out in one sitting.
  • Is this house a Barber?[2]
  • Check Bissman Houses, Mansfield, OH.
  • How about this one?[3] Similar in appearance to MD3 #25-E & 27-E, but plan completely different.
  • This one?[4] Similar to one in Homes Illustrated.
  • The Paxton, Illinois one?[5]
  • Poteet House in Harrodsburg, Kentucky is definitely not CS2 #29, despite this[6].
  • Do a search on Oldhouses.com.
  • HistoricProperties.com
  • Going through merrymeeting archives for George Barber (http://merrymeeting.websitetoolbox.com/post/George-Barber-87452):
    • Five Barbers in Rockland, Maine?
    • 1912 Colonial Revival in Courtland, Alabama?
    • There is another Barber across the street from Dr. Martin Luther Malloy House in Eutaw, Alabama.
    • According to W. Neely Plumb (http://www.oldhousedesigns.com)
      • Design #56- Weatherford, TX-remodeled, vinyl siding?
      • Design #41 (CS2) - Ft. Smith Arkansas
      • Design #2- Marshall, TX (2) of these are extant, both remuddled, one only missing the tower and the porch ornamentation; the other with the porch ornamentation and asbestos siding, but both restorable.
      • Design #41- Denton, TX- It was severely compromised and cut up into apartment; may no longer be there as it has been many years since I saw it about 20 years ago.
      • Beaumont or Orange, TX has a custom Barber home. The city, THC, and the owners apparently do not know it is a Barber, but everything is Cottage Souvenir #2 textbook including the staircase, moldings, etc. The carriage house is the design from Cottage #2 with the tower (i don't remember the design #).
      • Weatherford, TX also has a custom Barber home and it has been compromised as well. It is a large 1-1/2 story with textbook Barber elements seen on design#1 (tower, etc) located outside of town on a large hill, maybe a ranch? The attic/half-story floor had rooms around the inside of the roof structure and an open ballroom type floor in the center of the attic/half story. Someone needs to document this one.
      • I have found others in Texas, sadly one of which was demolished about 2001 in Marshall, TX. I do not remember the design #, but it was a modified plan, and I will look it up. I watched this one be demolished by neglect for over 20 years until it was demolished by a track hoe. I know where the newel posts were as they were apparently removed by a neighbor.
    • Woodbury, Connecticut - home of Spence Christie (?), 2006
    • 928 State St., Lafayette, IN - [7]
    • These people know more locations: http://merrymeeting.websitetoolbox.com/file?id=258025
