Herrick Cobblestone, Greek Revival cobblestone house in Rockford, US.
The Herrick Cobblestone House features 15-inch thick walls constructed with large stones and smaller cobbles collected from the Rock River area.
Built in 1847 by Elijah Herrick, this residence represents one of the remaining examples of cobblestone construction that spread from New York after the Erie Canal completion.
The structure demonstrates the influence of northeastern building techniques as settlers moved westward, bringing architectural knowledge from New York to Illinois.
Located at 2127 Broadway in Rockford, Illinois, the house contains thirteen six-over-six windows and maintains its original limestone corner quoins.
The walls incorporate locally sourced Galena Dolomite in the foundation and Platteville limestone for the eleven 12-inch corner quoins.
