Katy: What a beautiful half-house! The old Job Lane House (Farm Museum) on North Road in Bedford, MA was first built similar to this in the 1720's, but it never had the charming door and window pediments I see here. I doubt that's the original siding either - but I sure hope it's made of wood. Hard to tell in the photo. Good luck!

Hello MassHistPres Community, 

I write seeking help with an unusual Georgian house type in Newton's Upper Falls village. 
I've attached a photo. The house stands on a stone foundation and once had an interior 
brick chimney extending from the rear roof slope, left side. Any thoughts? It's generally 
categorized as a 'half-house' for reasons that will become obvious. Are there similar 
examples in your communities, and if so, do you know when they were built? 

The City of Newton is working to identify the provenance of this building (and others) as part 
of its effort to update its B Forms. We appreciate any guidance you may provide. 

Katy
