Eclectic House, Circa 1850, Barnesville

In its architectural contradictions [Italianate, Victorian, and Colonial Revival], this house is typical of the eclecticism which exploded onto the American scene around the turn of the last century. While the house is dated in surveys to circa 1850, it was likely remodeled to its present Colonial Revival appearance decades later.

Dutch Colonial Revival Cottage, Barnesville

Property records date this house to 1833, but in its present form, that is not the case. My presumption, in regards to the date, would be that a smaller vernacular house was expanded into the present Dutch Colonial Revival style around the turn of the last century. I hope to learn more.
