As a follow-up to Carol Serr's post, the house-shaped mark is also in
Creswick (1987:139) in a section with jars of the "Crowleytown" Mason
style. These were made by John L. Mason Manuf. Co., New York, N.Y. during
the 1869-1872 period. The shoulder-seal jars (this was surely one of them)
were also generally made during that period.
I agree with Carol that the "house" is virtually an exact match. Creswick,
too, called it a "'house' emblem." Citation below.

Kevin!
I was flipping thru Leybourne's 2001 Redbook 9 (fruit jars book)... And
happened to see a house design just like what you have!!!
It's shown on page 247...as a base mark on a Mason jar...but simply is
noted as "'house' design"... But...that's IT! And...a place to start
from....I guess.
I was looking for our 'arrow' shape, jar base mark...but haven't found
it yet.
