The Victorian house at 38 Broadway in Fonda, NY is a beautifully maintained example of design 128, as published in Barber’s 1892 pattern book entitled, “The Cottage Souvenir No. 2, Revised and Enlarged”. This home features a different style tower than what Barber published for this design, which gives it a taller, more prominent focal point as you approach the house, heading north on NY 30A. Unfortunately, I did not get into this gem to see the interior, but someday soon, I hope.

    Chris, I’m sure I’ve seen another example of this design somewhere in Indiana (Richmond, maybe?) I’ll get back to you if I can find it.

      Thanks John. I think I may know of the house you are remembering, in Indiana. There is a house like this one, located in Rensselaer, IN. Is that the one you are thinking of? Either way, let me know. Thanks again for posting your comment.
