The cornice treatment and <br /> the nine - over - nine sash . would make me place it no later <br /> than the end of the first quarter of the 19th century . . the <br /> excellent mantels have a late Georgian character and the doors <br /> are the old six - raised - panel Georgian type , though their form <br /> and their butt hinges ( rather then the old HL hinges ) make me <br /> think they ' re very late versions of the type . I ' d be <br /> inclined to think the house was standing before the death of <br /> William Cabe in 1829 , perhaps even a decade or two before . . <br /> .
