Cobblestone House

Cobblestone House is a historic residence in New York featuring walls made of rounded stones stacked in horizontal rows. The structure showcases the skilled masonry work typical of early American construction using local stone resources.

The house was built in the 1800s as settlers adapted construction methods to use locally available stone. This building method became established in the region during the early years of American development.

The building demonstrates the adaptation of European construction techniques to American materials, influencing regional architectural development.

The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, which provides federal protection for the structure. Access may be limited as this is a private residence, so visitors should check beforehand for any visiting opportunities.

Each stone in the walls was carefully chosen for its size and shape to create an exact geometric pattern. This precision required specialized mathematical calculations, showing the level of craftsmanship from that era.
