The
two
types of corbling, elaborate and simple, are shown together on this map.
Large percentages are found in the late 19th and early 20th century
sections of town as well as in the 1950-1960s suburbs. The newest houses
of the 1970s and the 1980s lack corbling because chimneys are commonly metal
pipes covered with house siding. Yet some very expensive houses in
the 1980s have elaborate corbling once again!
Very elaborate
corbling is associated with expensive mansions of the Victorian era
(1870
to 1890s). During the 1950-1960s simple versions appeared on
more
expensive suburban homes.
