Barker House, Historic residence in Indiana, United States.

Barker House is a two-story rectangular dwelling built about 1900 in Michigan City, Indiana, combining Shingle Style and Prairie School elements. It stands on a brick foundation under a hipped roof with a hipped dormer, and its plan is a modified American Foursquare. The grounds also hold a contributing carriage house, dance studio and garage.

Built about 1900, Barker House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. Its period outbuildings, a carriage house, dance studio and garage, are counted as contributing structures to the designation. The property now holds the offices of Save the Dunes and the Barker Woods Nature Preserve, managed by the Shirley Heinze Land Trust.

The house and grounds now hold the offices of Save the Dunes, a conservation group, and the Barker Woods Nature Preserve, managed by the Shirley Heinze Land Trust. The former carriage house, dance studio and garage stand on the property as contributing structures. Visitors come for the preserve rather than the house interior.

The house and grounds now hold the Save the Dunes offices and Barker Woods Nature Preserve, managed by the Shirley Heinze Land Trust. The property also includes a contributing carriage house, dance studio and garage, so look for these outbuildings as well as the main house. The site is in Michigan City, LaPorte County, Indiana.

The grounds hold more than the house: a contributing carriage house, dance studio and garage stand on the property, and the site now houses the offices of Save the Dunes alongside Barker Woods Nature Preserve, managed by the Shirley Heinze Land Trust. The house was listed on the National Register in 2001.
