    Barney & Josephine Burton built a smaller version of Barber’s design 01, as published in the third edition of the “Modern Dwellings” series of pattern books. This classic colonial home currently serves as the Welcome Center for the Little Falls Convention & Visitors Bureau, so it should be generally accessible to the public. If so, I would love for someone local to shoot some interior photos of this home for me, so I can add the photos to this post. If you are willing to help me out in this regard, please comment below. Mr. Burton was the proprietor of a clothing and dry goods store, making him a very typical (rising middle class) client of George Barber.

    The Hackney residence has long since been demolished, but in its day was a sight to behold.  Hackney was a lumber baron so the interior was likely filled with spectacular woodwork.  This particular design was easily Barber’s most successful “classic Colonial” design.
