Chad Fabry Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 I came across this tabby paper today and learned a few things- thought I'd share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Interesting. Never heard of the term 'Tabby' before. Now I wonder if a lot of 'concrete' floors that I've seen in late 19th century Acadian architecture is actually tabby. I guess little pieces of exposed oyster shell would give it away.

Tom Raymond Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Why were you reading about tabby? There aren't any oyster shells in the canal[:-dev3] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Cool........ I think I saw some tabby when I was on Okracoke Island last fall; it was a layered stucco type material over masonry and timber substrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocracoke was my old stomping ground for many years - camped there several times a year for about eight years. You don't happen to be friends of Howard and Daffney, who reside there, but are originally from your neck of the woods. Howard started out as a lofe guard, then a park ranger and finally the school teacher there, while his wife was in real estate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
