My thoughts exactly when I saw it "Wow Kirk. That's like a blast from my past".
There was a lot of that on the lower end houses in PA.
And New York state as well.
I wasn't a home inspector back then,
I was just a kid, but I remember that stuff on many houses.
but I'm pretty sure it was just an asphalt shingle designed for vertical siding.
Yep.
I don't know what they layered behind it, probably just tar paper.
Or, as in the second photo, asbestos cement shingles behind it.
