Charles Barber's residential designs drew on historical American and European prototypes, incorporating Beaux Arts architectural elements on a functional layout of rooms. Designed to accommodate twentieth-century lifestyles and tastes, Barber's original designs, while respecting historic precedent, transcended it. Public and private areas were separated, and interior spaces flowed through French doors or picture windows to exterior terraces and landscaped gardens.
