Category: 1 Imlay Street
As we pull more and more of the house apart, we’re figuring out how the house was originally laid out – forensic carpentry, our carpenters call it. But today we really hit the jackpot: as we pulled down the interior wall inside of the addition to the front corner (northeast) of the house, we discovered that whoever had done this work walled up one of the original window crowns! This answers most of our questions as to what they looked like: the crown fills out the shadow lines, and it confirms that we have found the original exterior to the house. Unfortunately, the crown is missing its end brackets, but there is at least one other Porter Whiton house over on Laurel Street that should help us out here.
