The tarp around the chimney suggests water seepage when it rains. My guess would be that the chimney was damaged in one of our more recent earthquakes. From the look of the façade, it appears some siding covers the exterior. My guess is there are some wonderful shingles and gingerbread under this siding. Looks like the roof is getting rather worn too. Yes, with the siding removed and the wood repainted and a new roof and restored chimney, what a showplace this would be. I wonder where one could find an earlier photo to see just what is underneath that siding. Some ornamentation may have also been removed. Regarding the year built, I’d agree with your assessment of the earlier circa 1886.Robert J.
