As the land was expended of trees, Barrineau redeveloped much of it as farmland. He established an estate of about 500 acres for himself and sold parcels of about 40 acres each to more than fifty immigrant families, most of them from Hungary, who sold their produce through a cooperative marketing plan. The community became known as [[Barrineau Park]].
In addition to his naval stores and farming interests, he was a stockholder in the [[T. G. Britton Mercantile Company]] in [[MolinpMolino]] and a director of the [[Pensacola Dry Goods Company]]. He also entered into [[C. H. Barrineau|his brother's]] brickyard, the [[Build With Brick Plant]].
He was a Mason, a member of the Blue Lodge, and a Shriner.
