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 is a rare concentration of Barber homes located in a small town, which attracts the interest of Barber enthusiast around the country. This stunning Queen Anne style home was built by the Thomas Wilkins family in 1894 (via: State Survey). The Wilkins family (which built all 4 Barber homes in Campbellsburg) established the grist mill that the town of Campbellsburg was built around. The stately, front porch was added in the 1910s. The summer kitchen was enclosed to the house. Although most windows have been replaced the original rounded, stained glass horseshoe windows are still intact. The original wood trim, staircase, pocket doors, fireplace, wood flooring and ornate details of the home remain and are intact. This home is a true gem worthy of investment.

Family History

Campbellsburg was developed around a grist mill founded by John Wilkins in 1859. The extended Wilkins family owned other business in town and may have owned all four of the surviving George F. Barber homes in town. Street numbers have changed over the years, but it looks like Thomas Wilkins (1866-1950)  may have been the owner of our featured home. He had an eighth grade education and was an owner of a dry goods store in town. He lived here with his wife Alice. They had no children.
