Historic narrative:

Built during the Late period: 1845 - 1860

This cobblestone building used very small, red lake cobbles and fine cut quoins and lintels, It sits on a cut block foundation and has a water table. There's a wide frieze across the front with belly windows, and a porch with pillars at the front door. look closely at the cobbles over the lintels on the front windows to see the herringbone pattern. then look out back at the end of the driveway to see a barn built with mixed-color cobblestones.
