The siding is down

We’ve got 1 Imlay down to its original siding, and now you can get a better look at the original house and how it was altered over the years.  Both the side entry (on the south side, in front of the bay window) and the front rooms on the first and second floors (northeast corner) are later additions to the structure.  Also, we discovered that the house used to have decorative woodwork:  shadow lines under the soffit and above the windows indicate that there were brackets and window crowns.  Given some of the extant decorative woodwork in Nook Farm from the same time period, it’s like these decorations were highly elaborate, but at this point we can only guess.
