Thomas Lamboll’s Tenements
8–10 Tradd Street • c. 1726
This pair of houses was built back-to-back against a common wall. Each is a mirror image of the other. The gambrel roof has a unique overhang to shed the dormers on the sides.
A covenant in a 1726 deed for this property required that the alleys on each side remain open.
The brickwork is English bond, with alternating rows of headers (the short end of the brick) and stretchers (the long side) — which is the same bond used for the main walls of Mulberry Plantation in c. 1714.
A gambrel roof was also used for Hanover Plantation in c. 1720 and Exeter Plantation in c. 1726. •
