c.1900 Indiana George F. Barber Queen Anne Victorian Home For Sale Under $90K
$89,900
This Indiana George F. Barber Queen Anne Victorian home for sale for $89,900 had me at that round window, then I saw the iron fencing and wrap-around porch. The interior needs TLC, but the woodwork is astounding as are the stained glass windows, fretwork, tiled fireplaces, vintage lighting fixtures and the staircase! Oh, that staircase! We first featured this home back in November 2024 when it was $120,000. It is one of four surviving George F. Barber homes in town.

This stunning Queen Anne style home was built by the Thomas Wilkins family in 1894 (via: State Survey).

The summer kitchen was enclosed to the house. Although most windows have been replaced the original rounded, stained glass horseshoe windows are still intact.
