The "Barnard House" in
Chico |

The T. H. Barnard residence was built in 1884. It's
still located at 238 Normal Street - the
northwest corner of Third and Normal Streets in Chico, Butte
County, California. |
|
Today the Barnard House is called Sapp Hall. It's now the
Alumni House of Cal State University Chico. |
|
"Built in 1884 by Dr. C. C. Mason, this house has
had ties to the university from the beginning. On the corner
of Normal Street and Third Street, Dr. Mason built a residence
in the fashionable Italianate style. Mason was a Chico Normal
School committee member, as was Timothy H. Barnard. Barnard bought
the home in 1891, after Mason's death. Serving seven years as
a trustee for the school, Barnard was also a Civil War veteran,
a state assemblyman and the owner of Barnard Livery Company.
In the early 1910s, Barnard remodeled the Italianate house with
the addition of such Classical Revival elements as the column
and portico in order to keep up with the current fashions in
architecture."
