[MassHistPres] Federal era homes of brick construction clad with clapboards

[SCeccacci at aol.com]

The two-story Federal period building that contained the office of  
Massachusetts Governor Levi Lincoln, which stood until the 1970's on Main  Street in 
Worcester, was an example of this type of structure.  The ends  and chimneys 
were of brick and the front and rear were clapboarded.  There  is also, as I 
recall, a similar building of this same period still extant in the  commercial 
center of Concord.  I believe I have seen others elsewhere, but  don't remember 
exactly where.

I am wondering if other communities have any knowledge of Federal era  houses 
that were constructed of brick but had clapboard siding on one or more  
sides.  Dorchester has at least one suspected instance, and we are trying  to 
analyze another possible instance.  Was this a common practice?
