The George Sprite and Neva Flowers Barbee House embodies distinctive characteristics of an early-twentieth-century Craftsman foursquare dwelling with an eclectic use of some Colonial Revival-style and Prairie-style architectural details. The house is a notable example of its type and style, possessing high artistic values compared to others in town and in the county. The Craftsman-style, masonry foursquare is relatively rare in the county and the George Sprite and Neva Flowers Barbee House is Zebulon’s only example. Both the material and the size of the dwelling give it a grand presence on W. Gannon Street.
