    Comments, Additional Information, References

    On the same [Ben-4 Parker Yat-7] property, just west of the house, is a one story cobblestone building used as an antique shop. The stones and handling of mortar are like the house, except that it lacks quoins and has a wooden column on the southeast corner. No photograph of the corners on the west side were taken, and their structure is not known. The west side was examined later and found to contain quoins. Roudabush Survey pages 122-123

    Editor's note: Realtor information on 10/04/2019 suggests that this structure was connected to the main house in the 1990s. Currently there is no evidence of an Antique Shop business at this location.
