Lyons home on Maplewood Rd. is a stone house, but does not fit the description of a cobblestone. Corners are made of flat stones mixed with some large stones to replace the usual quoins. Stones are not laid in rows and the house probably should be classed only as a stone house. Roudabush Survey page 50.
The Thomas Cogswell House, 11231 Maplewood Road, Attica. This is a very early cobblestone house with two unique wings. Note the uneven sized cobblestone, lack of straight lines, uneven quoins and rough limestone framing of the doors and windows. Richard Palmer blog.
