The picture isn't big enough to see the red marking it is there.

1812, got it. It has gone through my mind, when I see two types of marking I'm thinking the building was moved and the red marking was for the the second or more disassembly. I also when building new use both marker and chiseled numbers.

I also stopped at a remodel to look at an old cape yesterday and viewed an exposed kitchen ell. It was mucked together with somewhat odd parts, one posts, square ruled, with chisel marks in the brace housing, the #2 (II). The brace was missing and the top plate had no brace pocket to match. Tim
