J. O. Barnes House, 320 S. Main St.

c. 1940, Frame Vernacular style

This one-story wood frame residential building is located at 320 South Main Street. It is an example of Frame Vernacular architecture. It has a rectangular plan and a gable roof. The exterior wall fabric is clapboard and fenestration consists of double-hung sash windows with 1/1 lights. An entrance porch with a gable roof, square post supports and a knee wall extends from the facade. A brick chimney was located on the south elevation and the building sits on a concrete pier foundation.

The house was used by Barnes to hold meetings of the Crescent City Church of Christ during the early 1940s. The building is now used as a single family home, it is owned by Bonnie Loveday.
