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, this building Cla-7a Jones-Mercer Barn and Cla-11 Galbraith; and in Ontario, Gen-1a Gazebo, are constructed in this manner.
