Cobblestone Historic District: Cobblestone construction
is one of the more interesting of American vernacular building types. Originating in the area
of Rochester, most of these structures were built between 1825 and 1860 from the Ice Age residue
of glacially rounded native stones. The First Universalist Church (1834), the Ward House (c. 1840),
and the District 5 Schoolhouse (1849) are the best documented and preserved examples of early
cobblestone construction. See also Best Historic District Image for more photos from the
