Mr. Jones and his wife Eunice each lived in the house until their deaths. David and Lynda Shaw purchased the house from their daughter in 1996 and have begun a comprehensive restoration. |
![]() Architecturally, the house is a free-classic Queen Anne with many elements foreshadowing the Colonial Revival style. It is based upon Rosemont, George Barber's own family home in Knoxville. The inside features elaborate woodwork that has never been altered or painted. The finely detailed fretwork grille is pure Victorian fancy, identical to that inside Barber's Rosemont. |
