Dertail of south gable wall

Black and white photographic print showing detail of eastern segment of the south gable wall. Tree to right of building had encroached into foundation masonry [see MFHPH19--1005.01.020, note regarding removal of tree]. Details include: random rubble masonry; quoin corner pier; pointing from 19th-century periods include "barn-dash" [overlapping the exposed stone surfaces] and "flush"pointing [to the same ambient plane as the outer surface of the wall]; the original pointing [small remnants survive] was in the form of a protruding "V", projecting slightly “proud of” the outer wall plane to shed moisture, called "crown" pointing through the modern period. Note written in blue pen on verso reads, "BRIDGE HSE", an anomalous label, given that no evidence has been found that would suggest a resident “bridge keeper” prior to the 1940s, when Alice Garber lived there and apparently “tended” the bridge.
