The Giles Barber House stands in southern Windsor, on the west side of Windsor Street (Connecticut Route 159), a major north–south roadway, between Barber and Allen Streets. It is a masonry structure, with a 2+1⁄2-story main block that is covered by front-facing gabled roof. Behind this is a two-story ell, from which a single-story ell extends to the left (south) from its rear. The main facade is three bays wide, with the entrance in the leftmost bay. Windows are set in rectangular openings with brownstone lintels and sills. The gable above is fully pedimented, with a Federal style semi-oval window at its center. [2]
