Rounded stones placed in a matrix of mortar which is depressed in the center around the stone and slopes up from the stone gives a dish-like appearance. The adjacent areas contacted by a single "dish" give the outer edge of the "dish" a hexagonal outline. This type of masonry is usually found on the side or back walls, and only one house has been found in which all walls have this type of structure. It is at 2040 Kent Rd., Carlton in Orleans County.
