    Comments, Additional Information, References

    Ann Arbor's other cobblestone house, at 2940 Fuller Road, across from Huron High School, was built in 1836 for Orrin White, the first settler in Ann Arbor Township. White migrated here from Palmyra, in Wayne County, New York, the county with the largest number of recorded cobblestone houses in that state. Present owners said they believe that their house was also built by Steven Mills because it is very similar to the Ticknor-Campbell house: both are Greek Revival and have identical herringbone patterns of angled stones and similar interior layouts.
