Historic cedar shake gable arch design with clock Lorenzo Mansion
Wooden shingles were lightweight, made with simple tools, and easily installed. Wood shakes were usually split from wood that was regionally available. Dating back to the 18th century, wood shingle surfaces were coated with oils to protect the wood from sun, rain and time. Linseed oil, pine pitch coating and brick dust minerals were used to protect the wood. Many National Park buildings in North America were constructed of cedar with cedar shingle roofing. In the United States for example, white pine was the most used type of wood. Lorenzo Mansion Rippleton Road Cazenovia Lake NYS
