Good Morning, 

            I am trying to replace a Victorian 4 panel exterior door
with a more appropriate door for a 1740  house in SE Pennsylvania.  I
remember reading somewhere a general chronology for baton and panel
doors

but I cannot find it now.    Can anyone out there provide me a reference
with some good door chronology data?

 

I have checked:

Raymond

Isham

            Early American Houses 

            A Glossary of Colonial Architectural Terms

Falk

            Architecture and Artifacts of the Pennsylvania Germans

Olmet
