I haven't been able to learn anything more about stacked wood construction, but I have more information on my own house's age and history. <BR/><BR/>I've seen a copy of the map referred to in my original post, but it wasn't dated. It indicated that my house was a "company" house owned by the J.C. Parker company. They bought the mill across the street in 1857 and sold it in 1906 so the original date of 1880 we have for the house seems to fit neatly in that time frame. <BR/><BR/>However, I found a document online that was filed in support of the effort to put most of our street on the register of National Historic places. Apparently we live in the <A HREF="http://www.crjc.org/heritage/V11-54.htm" REL="nofollow">Jennings House</A>, built in 1820. The description fits the house to a T (even though the actual street address has changed).Helenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16634133517015304443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13690233.post-61445884787920642972007-11-09T21:35:00.000-05:002007-11-09T21:35:00.000-05:00Hi,<BR/><BR/>You're not going to believe this... I also have a stacked wood house. I live in Worcester, MA and believe the house to be much older than the 1890's the city says it is. I have never been able to find out any further information. Can you please tell me if you found out anything further?<BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>BenBenjaminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04022269279382620153noreply@blogger.com
