You have requested to install clapboard siding, but we believe that the original for these areas was indeed shingles. The photo from the Guidebook to Chapin Park is so small that it is inconclusive. However, we do have the negaves from the surveys that were done in the 1980s (aached). This photo shows shingles. Given the style of the house and the photo from the 1980s, we believe that the original siding was cedar shake. Feel free to pull off some of the exisng plasc/fiberglass shingles and invesgate underneath, if there is original siding remaining. Given the informaon we have so far, I would be able to administravely approve replacement for cedar shake, but not clapboard.
