Curiouser and curiouser…

On seing that 1876 image, my heart sank a bit initially, as the footprint of the end house seems to break the building line as in the Rocque, but the white house in the image above is flush- and presumably it pre-dates 1876. But looking more closely, it seems that the hatched area – indicating the building footprint – is flush with the building line, whilst the ‘breakfront’ seems to be a shadow of the previous building.

Drifting towards consensus can be dangerous, but I’m starting to believe we might be onto something.
