Hi-
The construction of farmhouses in the early 19th century varied
greatly from region to region and even within counties, based largely
on the materials available. Thus, one might see simple log structures
or timberframe construction where wood was plentiful; stone --
fieldstone or quarried stone-- somewhere else, and brick where stone
was less available and clay was present.
The styles were dictated by utility and ease of construction in some
cases, while for the more wealthy, architectural style was copied from
that currently in vogue in the cities.
Construction materials and location, of course, dictated the tools
required.
If you are interested in a particular region, we can provide you with
information specific to that region, or we can concentrate on a
particular type of construction, e.g., timberframe.
However, a complete overview of early 19th century rural architecture
and construction would require subtantially more effort than that
normally associated with the price you propose. Please see pricing
