You can simplify the problem by only looking at the brickwork, and classifying the bond used:

There's generally a strong correlation between brickwork and century:

Flemish Bond --> 18th century
American Common Bond --> 19th century
Stretcher Bond --> 20th century

but there are a zillion variations.

Coming up with an algorithm to classify a limited set of simple geometric patterns would be a lot easier than doing the same for wooden fretwork.
