[MassHistPres] staircase detail - 1700s

[Henry Cooke]

Marian,

I think we have similar details in a couple of federal homes in 
Randolph, built c.1805 by Randolph housewright Jonathan Belcher. Will 
compare the detail on the Jonathan Belcher house and get back to you.

You note that the house is in Norfolk County - town?
