George Barber is well-known for his Victorian "mail-order" homes, preceding the Sears home kits. There are thousands of homes in the United States, and the world, designed by Geo. F. Barber near the turn-of-the-century, and are still standing. Often they are the most outrageous Victorian homes in a town. This book has more designs than other reprints of Cottage Souvenir, as it is taken from two of his editions of Cottage Souvenir #2, the original and a revised and enlarged edition.
