The Barlow Baxter House was built ca. 1904, and is a two-story frame dwelling built in a "prow house" type. The house has very simplified Queen Anne-style detailing in its milled porch columns and railing which extends around three facades of the projecting wing. The house has a gable roof of original metal standing seam, interior brick chimneys, a concrete block and poured concrete foundation, and exterior of weatherboard siding. On the main (W), south, and east facades is a two-story wraparound porch. The porch has a concrete floor, original chamfered wood columns, cut out eave brackets, and an original milled railing with square balusters.[1]
