Partial or even whole brick footings do not always indicate brick houses
at Jamestown. Some 30 structures have been recorded which had brick
footings or isolated brick fireplace foundations, the appearance of
which suggests frame houses. These may be briefly classified as follows:
Brick, or brick-and-cobble, wall-footings with central chimney bases
of brick--2.
Brick footing and outside chimney--3.
Brick footing only--10.
Brick chimney base alone remaining--12.
Stone footing only--1.
Cellar only, presumed to belong to frame or unfinished house, or to
have had all bricks salvaged--1.
Burned earth floor area only remaining, presumed to mark a frame
house--1.
Some of the structures encountered in the first explorations remain to
be more fully excavated and recorded. Structures in this category total
23.
