Unique features: At 3121 Clute Road, Blodgett Mills, there is a house, the first floor of which is cobblestone. Visible quoins are square cut red sandstone. Stones are relatively large and are of various colors. The vertical mortar is raised in ridges which are truncate at the top and bottom. Horizontal mortar is depressed, apparently by pressing a tool in the soft mortar, which produced a groove with a ridge just beneath the upper row of stones and another ridge just above the lower row. The window lintels are made of wood.
