In the latest H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society newsletter for winter 2023/24, a rare peep at the Barlow House. It’s is the “Featured Member” post re: a member in Cocoa, Florida. I kind of imagined it as much less rustic. Perhaps even more of a modern (for the early-30s) single-storey lakeside place, suiting a military man. But here it looks like an 1880s wooden building that one might find in a Lovecraft tale.
Barlow’s house

There was a time in recent years when the windows were boarded because of storm damage. This photos seems to indicate that someone has taken Dunrovin under their guardianship. I think Everett Darius Barlow was headed for a disability retirement from the military, so maybe this was intended as his retirement home. He had lived in military base housing for many years and was probably ready for something different.
