This Brockton Massachusetts home appears to be oddly out of place in it’s current setting. Barber originally created this design for construction on a narrow lot, which this house sits on. But this home sits back from the street, unlike it immediate neighbors. It is too bad because the exterior of this home still retains some character elements, so a different setting would do wonders for it’s curb appeal. Still, this unique home is an excellent example of this particular design, one of just 14 recorded to date.
