[Mr. and Mrs. Donald] Galbreath, 8103 Ridge Rd. The cobblestone structure is a small 2-story section attached to a wooden [and brick] building. The door of the original building opens onto a porch. The northwest corner has undergone considerable repair. Roudabush Survey page 66
The Roudabush Survey states 8103 Ridge Rd.; however, tax records and Google Maps show the address to be 8107 [West] Ridge Rd.
A very few cobblestone buildings are constructed with rounded corners, obviating the need for quoins. Only six such buildings were found, and occur in only three counties. In Cayuga, Ven-1 Vanorman Cay-12 and Vic-1 Haas Cay-13; in Monroe, Cla-7 Jones-Mercer, Cla-7a Jones-Mercer Barn and this building Cla-11 Galbraith; and in Ontario, Gen-1a Gazebo, are constructed in this manner.
