House address and map location were not provided in the Roudabush Survey. The Richard Palmer blog incorrectly stated a house address of 9.
At Bliss and Woolhouse Roads, there is a 1½ story house, the upper half story being made of wood. Quoins are uniform rectangular. On the front, there are two rows of stones under the windows which have been laid in herringbone fashion. Stones are irregular and most are slightly smoothed. Vertical mortar is depressed at the top and some verticals are cut off at the bottom. Roudabush Survey page 84
This typical rural cobblestone farm house at 9 Woolhouse Road was built about 1840 by Lewis Johnson. It is known as Pine Tree Farm for the sole pine tree that was in the front yard. Of the original 162 acres, 75 acres were devoted to meadow and pasture and 50 acres to raising corn. Records indicate was also a 10-acre stand of oak, ash and elm trees. The house faces west, and has a picturesque view of the broad landscape. The cobblestone is of mixed colors, shapes and sizes, some at window height laid on a slant. Stone quoins are irregular, and therefore courses per quoin are somewhat irregular - about four quoins per course on the facade and three quoins on the south. The front doorway has sidelights with two long vertical windows mostly 6 over 6; the windows have diagonal pattern grills that may not be original. The farm was owned later by Joel M. Howey and was long known as the Howey farm. In 1885 it was owned by W. S. Davis. It is three and one-half miles southwest of the City of Canandaigua. Richard Palmer blog.
