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

[Anne Forbes]

Earl - 
I can provide you with information on the Federal "brick-enders" in Concord if you are interested (there's even one with just one brick end), as well as a few in some other communities.  These are largely wood-frame buildings with brick end walls.  But I wonder if you are asking about something else:  Are you looking for examples of brick houses that were sided on one or more walls with clapboard, on top of the brick?

  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.
