  I don't know if you are aware or not that the Nelson farrn house at Tour
Stop 2 of Saratoga Historical Park has unfired brick nogging.

  The house has been moved about and restored during its 226 year history so
I am unsure how much of the nogging is original. I know that it was repaired
in the last ten years.

  I am sure the folks at the park would share what information they have.
