Barber's Design Notes:

This is a house that has proven a universal favorite, and has been duplicated several times. Owing to the location of this house, we failed to get a good photograph, and in consequence the engraving shown does not do the house justice. It is a much better looking house than is here shown. The kitchen, pantry and dining room connections will be found to be very convenient. Height of first stories, 10 feet; second stories, 9 feet 4 inches. depth of cellar, 6 feet 6 inches, under all except parlor and hall. Interior: Three rooms and front hall on first floor to be in hardwood, natural finish. Balance of house finished for painting, three-coat work. Plastering, three-coat work, hard finish. Plumbing consists of sink and pump in kitchen, bath tub and bowl, with connections, and gas throughout. Outside Materials: Both stories and center belt weather boarded, gables and roof shingled. Foundation of brick. Outside blinds. Painting, three-coat work.

Barber's estimated range of costs to build:

Barber's estimated cost, or median cost to build:
