National Register Property
Located in the heart of Brunswick’s Old Town Historic District, this late-Victorian house is a design of George Franklin Barber. Barber, an architect based in Knoxville, Tennessee, published a prolific number of house designs via mail order catalogues and magazines. This house, circa 1900, is based on Design No. 7 of his Modern Dwellings and Their Proper Construction (Second Edition).
The exterior of building retains Barber’s characteristic emphasis on prominent brick chimneys, dormers, and ornamentation. There is a large addition on the rear of the building. Unfortunately, the house has suffered from years of deferred maintenance and neglect. The roof is in fair condition while the exterior siding is in various states of disrepair. The interior of the building has been significantly altered, with the original floorplans changed on both first and second floors. Many of the windows have been broken or removed, however some interior decorative features remain including some of the window trim and mantels. Situated on a full city lot (with street access from front and back) the parcel features .38 acres and includes an existing paved parking lot. The zoning is flexible to allow for several potential uses of the property including mixed use, office or restaurant space, or potentially a bed and breakfast. As a contributing property to the National Register historic district, this property may be eligible for Federal and State historic tax incentives for certified rehabilitations.
