Editor's Note: The Clarkson Corners Historic District documentation states (See "Resources" 1st paragraph) the address as 3726 Lake Road. Prior to demolition, the building was sold to the Town of Clarkson and was rented to "Deat's Woodworking Shop for a time at 3726 Lake Road (c. 1979), by then a one-story cobblestone building (second floor removed at an unknown date [1950's]) with a stucco front." The area between the current Clarkson Town Hall and Post Office occupies this site. The cobblestone building was demolished sometime between 2009 and 2011 (TBD).
