That's when New England colo- nists, inspired by the need for sturdy, weathertight shelter, started nailing overlapping boards to, their homes. They were, also starting an American architec- tural tradition. The "tradit-ional" look has evolved over the years. it can mean the clapboard -style siding of old New England -The Pennsylva- nia farmers' Dutch lap. The arite- bellum South's favored beaded panels. Or the turn-of-the-cen-- tury trendsetters' "roiled" siding. Today, they're part of the Restora- tion Collection of classic designs from America's . hometowns ... designs that reflect a rich archi- tectural heritage. lapboard-style is probably what most people pic- ture when they think of siding. After all,theFe's been little need to improve on the simple•elegance•of a look born of sheer necessity' in the early 17th century. A builder setting out to make his mark in the New World would typically start by selecting a -stand of oak, cedar or white pine, with trees roughly eight to twelve inches in diameter. After'the.trees were felled and cut to a manage- able length, the logs were stood on end and split in half with a 15-inch blade called a "froe." The two halves were split again, then again, until the enterprising settler had a supply of wedge-shaped boards, each 3/8" to W' thick on the bottom and tapered toward the top. Nailing these hand -heron boards in"an'overlapping Pat- tern created a .weather -resistant wall — and an eye-' pleasing effect that was enhanced by giving each board a uniform-, three-inch exposure. There were variations on the three-inch profile, depend- ; ing on the size of available logs, the quality of the hand- hewn boards, etc. But the "three inch to the weather" scale worked well with the lines of the homes of the day. And as logs were usually plentiful — and be colonial - craftsmen were as handy with a froe as today's builders are with a hammer and saw — "three to 'the weather" became the "industry standard" throughout the New England colonies. Today, this "original" siding style is still as decorative as it is functional, with gently, tapered angles that create crisp, distinctive shadow- ►.= lines..,a timeless expression of American architecture, captured in Restoration" Cambridge.

But ILI F the prevailing expression of the style called for a wide e+ xposure that•sometimes overwhelmed the lines otnewer, smaller homes. 1 +� • That was all the challenge needed by the builders of the day. Because if a built-in respect for tradition was part of he American style," so'Nvas the native flair for indi,'.idual hr�hertt hfiin expression. f The-shiplap joint work that gave the profile its character represented an ideal "project?' for the era's emerging steam -powered planes and shaping tools. The new tech- nology meant siding of -this sort could now be mass- produced at the local mill, and wood -sided "booth" towns sprouted on the prairies as the Conestogas rolled west. The "new" Dutch lap, with its refined, three-inch, ex- .. posure, gave craftsmen a form that dovetailed with the growing demand for homes that could combine function - with finery. _ Architecturally, the Victorian era was inspiring more _ attention to detail - the trims and "gingerbread" - that added the finishingtouches a proud builder could point to t " as making his home unique. Dutch lap in a narrower exposure n3ade the siding an interesting part of the design - - by adding more shadowlines and texture. - ; Halifax C'ra�in[k i�iorth'Cxralina It still does. Restoration Cumberland W1... another _ex- ;ii�a tri;{}rt amplq of classic.. American -design at workj " �., 5oatb.-mckiOn'.M:k% Snrk ' something to be said for the American sense - There's of style. It's always been innovative. And dis- tinctively original. And if there has been one common thread to the architectural expressions that first took form in the 17th century, it's been the premium America's homebuilders put on variety and individuality. For instance, as early as 1639, hand-he,`vn boards were being embellished with curved edges, grooves and other flourishes that added an extra touch to the style of the day. One example first seen in Connecticut — a hand -planed "bead" added to the bottom edge of the panel that helped set off the otherwise sparse look of a broad {- expanse of -board. It was the kind of finishing touch that said a lot about the builder. Because this wasn't the kind of "extra" that was`r� easy to come by. The craftsmanship and hand -planing � required meant additional time, imagination, and 4� painstaking execution. Not to Mention increased expense. 1.4 -� But the results definitely made a statement about the x' owner's having "arrived.." t In later ears, the distinctive, beaded look became an especially popular feature on the homes built by the southern states' "landed gentry." Today, Restoration' Chapel Hill captures the look in a six- inch panel designed to add a' graceful touch -to homes across the country, old or new. After all, sometimes there's nothing as new and exciting as an old tradition. mericans have been proud of -their' homes for as ! lonu as there've been Americans. You can see it in the personal touches that make a house a home. And you can see. it in the blendiiiQ of styles and traditions that makes the American architectural experience unique. For instance, in the early 19th century, in a world where rigidly defined borders and sharp edges were the rule, you•rip . could count on flourishes like siding �.vith a softly rolled { • — - t ` profile to be an American innovation. �n This particular AvIistic• expression features the' -three. to • the weather" exposure in favor since before the Revolu- -- - -----_ , ti-onary War.

At the building site, the "pre -formed" panels were joined with sbiplap or rabbeted joints (similar JW .• �W to thou on dutch lap siding) for weatherproof protection .•.•� and structural strength. The rolled edge's dimensions were usually "exclusive" to whichever local mill had the new tools -that made the - technique possible.

AIfieJ, IV1_'aisle ack when "the Will} West" was still east of the Alleghenies, America was welcoming a new wave of craftsmen — each with customs that would enhance and become part of the "American" style. In Pennsylvania, for example, German farmers were ex- d t 1 that could offer rotection penmentmg wV L si ing s y es p and practicality, with room for creativity. They borrowed - an idea used by shipbuilders since the 15th century — the "shiplap" joint, which not only produced a watertight , seal, but added to the structural integrity of the siding itself. By carefully hand -planing grooves along the siding's$ . edges, they could'fit the boards together snugly enough to . eliminate the need for sheathing. The siding could then ' . serve "double duty" as both an exterior surface and a structural component.: Y �:. _ Naturally, this made for less expensive construction. Plus, , the resulting "coved" profile shrugged off rain, providing F a "built-in" weathertight surface ideal_ For barns and outbuildings — as well as for homes. Wider boards — br even boards of varying w— widths could � ' • be used with this technique. The craftsman now had a e P wider "Palette" to work with .and innovations took shape in the placement and degree of handwork lavished on the individual panel grooves. r One side effect of the non -overlapping technique was a clean, simple, flush profile that was as at home in town as it was in the country. ` Sometimes known as "ship- l lap" or "drop" siding, -it's the style we know today as Dutch lap ... a classic look captured in Restorations Stockbridge,. ■ r
