  Brewster has a house, known as "Brickenda," with brick sidewalls (two chimneys in each) and clapboard on the front (can't see the back but I don't think it is brick).  Built in 1796 as I recall, by a prosperous shipmaster.

    How about the John Callendar House (1802) on Beacon Hill in Boston, Mount Vernon Street at 14 Walnut Street?

      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?
