Well, not literally bones, but the frame of the James Blake House in Dorchester will be open for viewing on Wednesday, 14 February, beginning at 11 A.M..
From Dorchester Historical Society President Earl Taylor:
"The window of opportunity to see some spectacular 17th century framing and wattle and daub is here. Jerry Eide, preservation contractor for the restoration of the Blake
House, has removed all exterior shingles and sheathing, and unveiled
architectural details and signatures (literally in the form of historic
graffiti) on this 17th century “mansion.” Presently, the
framing is being consolidated, and before it is covered up for yet
another century, we invite you to take a look-see from the outside in."
