Durfee House Address: 3175 Palmyra-Marion Road (Route 21), Palmyra Original Owner: Job Durfee Year Built: 1840 Style: Greek Revival Small, red, lake-washed cobbles were used on the front. Notice how the colors became mixed as the mason progressed up the sidewalls and that the sidewall stones are ovals laid diagonally. In fact, each side on this house is different. The 2-story main building has a 1-story wing. The house has a wide frieze with belly windows and cut limestone lintels, quoins and sills. Notice the basement windows (but not the others) have limestone lintels set on edge. The house sits on a fieldstone foundation. | |||||
