Barrier House – Valley Ridge

This one and one-half story brick house is a picturesque composition with a high, hipped section flanked by a large, front-facing half-timbered gable containing an arched portico of stone. Stone quoins, intersecting gable and hip roofs clad in shingle tile, and an ornate chimney enhance the design. Architect Joseph J. Patterson was responsible for the design of the Period Revival style house; A. C. Luther of Byrne & Luther, Inc. was the contractor. Dr. Charles W. Barrier, a physician, and his wife Leonora were first owners from 1934 to 1950.
