BP Query----

I have been asked about the history of pocket doors in the US. To my
knowledge, the first use of them is during the Greek Revival period, possibly
in New York City. Because much of the pattern book stuff prior to 1820's was
based upon British modes, I have looked for precedents there but have not
come up with any. Anyone got any scoop on this?

Thanks, and a Greek noogie for anyone who helps,

Twybil
