Do you have
‘‘gingerbread’’
on your old
House? 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.
