Recently found your blog and must say your home is absolutely beautiful! That link to Barber homes is a real treat too. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHello! What a wonderful job you've done with your house! I have a Barber House too... complete with carriage house. It too came in by rail in boxcars. I feel very lucky...it was my grandparents' house. The town history reports that it was a Sears "mail order" house so I regularly battle with the fact that it was not. I even have the original blueprints and Barber & Barber have confirmed its origin. I did some serious exterior renovation two years ago and am very proud of the result. It's no small matter to have built-in copper guttering restored but it sure feels good when it's complete.
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog this evening and am eager to read everything. I'm hoping for interior shots! Thank you for sharing yours and keep up the good work!
Great job with the house. I just spent the last four years of my life completely restoring a Gearge F. Barber house in Oregon, IL. The plans were drawn up for B.F. Sheets and featured in American Homes, George's magazine in 1895. Barber homes are interesting and very well constructed.
