This beautiful little cottage was built in 1902 and remains faithful to Barber’s published design.  I am still trying to uncover the original owners of this gem, but the home seems to have fared well over the years.  Barber often spoke of the architectural profession’s responsibility to provide homeowners with great design, even if their means was modest.  This home exemplifies that philosophy.
