Design #2- Marshall, TX (2) of these are extant, both remuddled, one only missing the tower and the porch ornamentation; the other with the porch ornamentation and asbestos siding, but both restorable.
Design #41- Denton, TX- It was severely compromised and cut up into apartment; may no longer be there as it has been many years since I saw it about 20 years ago.
Beaumont or Orange, TX has a custom Barber home. The city, THC, and the owners apparently do not know it is a Barber, but everything is Cottage Souvenir #2 textbook including the staircase, moldings, etc. The carriage house is the design from Cottage #2 with the tower (i don't remember the design #).
Weatherford, TX also has a custom Barber home and it has been compromised as well. It is a large 1-1/2 story with textbook Barber elements seen on design#1 (tower, etc) located outside of town on a large hill, maybe a ranch? The attic/half-story floor had rooms around the inside of the roof structure and an open ballroom type floor in the center of the attic/half story. Someone needs to document this one.
I have found others in Texas, sadly one of which was demolished about 2001 in Marshall, TX. I do not remember the design #, but it was a modified plan, and I will look it up. I watched this one be demolished by neglect for over 20 years until it was demolished by a track hoe. I know where the newel posts were as they were apparently removed by a neighbor.
Woodbury, Connecticut - home of Spence Christie (?), 2006
Are also supposed to be Barbers in Rockwood, Pulaski, and Seymour, TN, per Rena of Merrymeeting.
The one in Seymour is supposed to be the Archibald Napoleon Cardwell House, supposed to be a CS2 #2, but brick with a hexagon tower and two stories; in Boyd's Creek community on the old Knoxville/Sevierville Pike.

Some in "The Heights," Houston, TX.
1701 Glenwood? Barber lived there before he died.

Huh? Chris asked Jack Neely: "James E. Johnston house that once stood at 939 N. 5th Avenue. Here again this house was a beautiful Queen Anne design that featured an interesting "keyhole" shaped window on the first floor."
