612 E. Monroe Street, Mt. Pleasant, IA
The McCoid residence was published by Barber in the March 1896 edition of his monthly magazine entitled “American Homes Magazine, A Journal Devoted to Planning, Building and Beautifying The Home”. It is one of at least 6 confirmed examples of Barber-designed homes, built in this quaint little Iowa town. In may ways Mt. Pleasant typifies the places where Barber flourished because it was rural but connected by the postal system, and it was largely without local architects to provide services to its residents.
