In 1905, Barber published this design under the moniker “Moderate Price Colonial Home” and was advertised to cost between $8,500 and 10,000 to construct as designed. This was a “classic colonial” design from Barber’s collection of colonial renaissance designs that began to appear shortly after 1900, in response to the changing tastes of architectural design.
