English: Based upon one of the great classical architectural traditions of Europe, Barnum House demonstrates the adaptability of classicism to a small scale structure erected in frontier conditions. The symmetrical composition and vocabulary of classical details, such as the pediment in the gable end, and the graceful blind arcading that animates the surface, combine to give this tiny gem of Neoclassical design its charm and dignity. A modern addition has been appended at the rear.
Français : Maison Barnum, inspiré des grandes traditions architecturales européennes, démontre que le classicisme peut s'adapter à un bâtiment de dimensions modestes construit dans une zone frontalière. La composition symétrique et les ornements classiques, tels que le fronton du pignon et l'élégante arcature aveugle agrémentant la façade, confèrent à ce petit joyau de style néo-classique son charme et sa dignité. Un ajout moderne a été construit à l'arrière.
