Welcome to Olde-Style Clapboard Siding!
This site aims to have the definitive collection of information, photographs,
history and advice on Clapboard siding anywhere on the web. While we're
under construction, though, check below for a list of great (but
not definitive!) resources on Clapboard siding.
(And, yes, we'll also have info on modern "clapboard"!)
Useful Links:
The internet has a dearth of useful information on the history of clapboard siding (neither its greco-norman roots nor its near-extinction at the hands of Mary Tudor are sufficiently explained anywhere we can find) and we intend to remedy that. We have interviews with noted historians at the ready as well as first-person historical accounts of people's lives with Clapboard from their journals and letters. |

If you have any questions or comments, we'll have a Message Board up by the end of the week. Since there are so many unanswered questions about clapboard and its many applications, we'll also be sponsoring a user-generated FAQ to be hosted right here on clapboard.org. The best thing about the new clapboard.org? It's all going to be free to everyone, all the time. No fees, no registration, and no commercials! J/K! :-) |
| If you're interested in what the site will look like once it's finished (complete with better navigation, registration links and lots and lots of pictures (and a place that you can submit your own), go ahead and click here to see what we're working on. |
