STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. Clapboard siding is prevalent all over Staten Island. According to the website HomeSteady.com, clapboard houses first appeared in America in colonial New England. It became common when homes were built using frame construction and in places where wood was abundant and affordable.
In this 2019 photo, original wooden clapboard is shown on a Prince s Bay garage. (Staten Island Advance/Jan Somma-Hammel)
