Mary-
Give me a call- we have good documentation and detailing from the
Schermerhorn Row (1810-12), and from the Jasper Ward House (1816). I
butchered the Jasper Ward House gutter out of a monster plank of clear pine
using period tools. No longer have the gutter adze unfortunately.I can recall
the profiles for you. We lined it with lead-coated copper, however, the last
time I looked (summer) it appeared to have been left maintenance-free by the
Seaport, and is rotting at the SE corner. Happy to send you a detail.
