Show NPS Form 10-900-a Utah WordPerfect 5.1 Format (Revised Feb. 1993) OMB No. 10024-0018 United States Department of the Interior National Park Sen/fee National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section No. 7 Page 1 Barnard-Garn-Barber House, Centerville, Davis County, UT Narrative Description The Barnard-Garn-Barber house is a one-story, crosswing, Classical style building with Victorian features constructed of rock and red brick. It was built in three stages. The original rock portion was built c.1854. 1 In the 1870s, the crosswing stone with brick front was probably added, and in 1898, a brick rear addition was built. The house is located in a residential section twelve blocks to the north of the center of town on Main Street. The yard is fully landscaped with mature trees. The section facing the road is a hall-parlor Classical style rock house built c.1854 in a rectangular form. Classical stylistic elements can be seen in its symmetrical facade with a center door flanked by single windows, end wall chimneys, strong wooden cornice, heavy stone window sills and wooden lintels. All of the windows on the house with the exception of the addition to the rear are wood, double hung, oneover-one. A shed roof front porch supported by four columns extends the full length of the facade and protrudes from the plane of the front facing gable approximately one foot. This newer porch, built c.1980s, replaced a c.1898 porch that had Victorian Eclectic detailing. A rectangular section, c.1870s, was placed perpendicularly to the rock house on the north elevation to create a cross wing form house. The cornerstones are larger pieces of rock that have been roughly cut and placed fairly regularly and the house does not have distinctive quoins. This section is also built of rock, but with a brick face on the west (main) elevation. It is unknown when the brick portion was built, but assumed that it could have added when the c.1898 rear addition was constructed. The gable end has an arched opening with two double hung wood windows. The north elevation has two symmetrically placed, double hung windows. There are simply detailed wood eaves and fascia. The third one-story gable-roofed section is constructed entirely of brick c.1898 on the east elevation, at the rear of the house, and attached to the south side of the newer rock section. From the brick that infills the section below a window on the east elevation, it appears that a door opening was turned into a window opening during the historic period (it has a stone sill and heavy wood lintel). At the rear of the house there are two one-story shed additions side by side. The addition connected to the southeast end of the original stone house is a bathroom with a stucco finish and no exterior window. The other addition, built c.1950s, has horizontal wood siding with two steel casement windows and the back door to the house. A one room log cabin is located to the south and east of the main house. The cabin appears to be from the pioneer era, c.1848. There are plans to move the cabin to another site in the near future. A newer garage, c.1980s, is located to the east of the house. The house is located on a corner lot and the driveway to the garage is also on the east side. Smoot, Mary Ellen, and Marilyn Sheriff. The Citv In-Between. Bountiful: Carr Printing Co., 1975, p.1.
