The Cobblestone Trading Co. store at the corner of Routes 20 and 46 at Pine Woods has had many uses since built in 1844 for C.T. Howard as a carriage and wagon shop. The main entrance was on the left side with double doors. During the Civil War it was a tavern and hotel. Bedrooms were upstairs. When the town "went dry" in 1915 it went out of business and was vacant seven years. In 1922 it became a general store, ice cream parlor and gas station. It later became a small general store. [Beginning in 1987] for many years it was an antique shop. It was restored in 2017-2018. Richard Palmer blog.
Note the Roudabush Survey states the address as 3310 Rts. 20 & 46, Pinewoods. The current Cobblestone Trading Co. states the business address as 3300 Rt 46, Bouckville.
