Overview

San Francisco architect Maxwell Bugbee, an expert in the Shingle Style, designed the "Gray House" for the lawyer William Barber and his wife, Elizabeth Bartlett Jackson Barber. Born in England, Barber was one of the earliest lawyers to settle in San Francisco, CA, (in 1851) and later beccame the city's District Attorney. He and his wife purchased a 71-acre Marin County tract in the Ross Valley for a country home in 1866. The first residence burned down, and the Barbers commissioned Bugbee to design this residence, completed in 1892, to replace it.
