Daniel J. Hall Residence
62 Court Street, Weaverville, CA
A classic example of Barber’s design no. 43, as published in the third edition (1901) of the “Modern Dwellings” series of pattern books. I have never been inside the Daniel Hall residence, so I would love to get some photos of the interior of this gem, hint, hint.

Silas L. Munson Residence
45 State Route 79, Windham, NY
One of the best preserved Barber house exteriors in the country. This classic example typifies the Barber client situation being located in rural upstate New York, a location where local architects would have been tough to come by but it was accessible by the US postal service. The Silas Munson residence is worth the trip, to see it in person. Trust me.
