The renovations utilize extensive wood finishes, horizontal overhangs, large areas of glass and a neutral palette to blend the outdoor and indoor spaces of the courtyard."

Sold in 2009 to Jill Geary and Neil Beaton. Frank Barrett was the manager of the local Portland Cement Association. Due to this, Thiry took advantage of his client's connections to design the house with more reinforced concrete than ever before in his work. Thiry designed the basement to have concrete walls and floor; the first floor was supported by prefabricated concrete beams and a concrete slab. The second floor walls, floor and ceiling were all constructed of timber framing. Plaster covered interior walls. As was typical of many 1930s houses, concrete block was used extensively, particularly around the front door. Thiry and Shay designed a copper front door which patinated to a blue-green. Stucco clad the exterior walls, with trim painted a blue-green to complement the front door. The house contained 3 bedrooms plus maid's quarters and occupied a 7,575 sq. ft. (0.17 acres) lot. The Barrett House contained, in 2009, 3,090 square feet. Outdoor rooftop decks were enclosed at some point (this may be the work that was done in 2013). Featured in Architectural Record.
