Building date: 1840s
Original use:
Corner structures: Gray limestone quoins
Mortar application and content: Vertical, slight embellishment. Stones are very close to each other, so that there is little vertical mortar, and the embellishments are thin, but terminate in pyramids cut off at the bottom.
Types and uses of stones: Rows of stones are usually four to the quoin, but in some instances there are only three. The side walls are essentially the same. Stones are variable in size and shape, and are smoothed. Stones are very close to each other.
Types and choice of windows: Lintels gray cut stone, second floor. Split limestone blocks forming the flat arch of the window lintels.
