Is there gingerbread on your neighbor's house? If your answer is ‘‘yes’’ to either question, you are fortunate in having a view of one of the few remaining charming architectural rem- nants of our past; one of those little extras that give old houses individuality. Popular during the Victor- ian era (1850-1910), this gingerbread, or sawn wood ornament, can still be found on all sorts of houses from mansions to the most humble ‘cottages.’ Created by carpenter- builders with many levels of sophistication and know- ledge, this ornament is almost in the category of American Folk Art because its design is as individual as the craftsmen who thought it up. Local carpenter-builders tried to satisfy their clients’ desire for the rich detail and decoration that marked the Victorian era. Sawn wood was often a substitute for the carved and turned wood that ornamented more lavish buildings. It is most often found on porches, gables and eaves. During the late 1800's, often it was added to houses of an earlier period to ““modernize’’ the appear- ance of a building. (An example in Marietta is the Victorian porch of the Railroad House.) Sometimes it was done so charmingly and well that even restora- tion “‘purists’’ would now hesitate to remove it to reveal the style of the earlier house. Victorians (unlike us) avoided monotony in home building not only with a great variety of gingerbread styles, but also by using a wide variety of paint colors. ' Trim was seldom painted all one color and was rarely white. More often, it was painted a combination of earthy colors designed to show off the detail—not blend it in with the rest of hf Ae Besides its charm, an- other nice thing about gingerbread is that it’s easy to restore. If your trim has small patches of rot, you may be able to salvage the original by using specialized marine repair products. Pieces that are loose can be re-secured with strategically located nails or screws. Some four inch (or longer) screws will give maximum holding power. To duplicate missing trim, most patterns can be closely matched using only a saber saw and a portable drill, shaping pieces from stand- ard one inch or two inch lumber. If you can’t match the original exactly, the important thing with exter- ior trim is to duplicate the mass _and the rhythm of the ~ original. Three dimensional effects can be obtained by layering simple designs on top of each other.
