Barber's Design Notes:

The owner of this residence is highly pleased with his home-it is cool, convenient Southern house. He says, "I have as good a house as anybody, and my porch is the finest in America." The hall is surely a luxury, and the rooms are arranged for special convenience. The bed-room and bath-room, so convenient to the main hall and kitchen, is every woman's delight. The exterior was prepared to be a model of modern design, which is very much enhanced by the beautiful colors of the painting, which is two shades of cream with white trimmings. Hardwood is largely used for interior trimming on the first floor, and all through the house is splendidly finished. Size-52x75 feet, over porches. Stories 11 and 10 feet, respectively. The grounds are spacious and beautiful, adding very much to the design, the green trees surrounding it contrasting it beautifully with the colors of the painting. A Southern home of splendid appointments throughout. The broad veranda steps leading to the front entrance are handsome and suggestive.
