Town of Farmington and Ontario County Maps
Editor's Note: The exact location and status of this structure can not be determined from the address information provided by Carl Schmidt in his book "Cobblestone Masonry". An 1859 Ontario County Map shows a Schoolhouse No. 11 on the west side of Alderman Road a short distance north of Fox Road. This structure has been confirmed not to have been cobblestone construction. See map image below. The current 271 Alderman Road address stated by Schmidt however is displayed by Google Maps further north on the east side of Alderman Road almost equidistant between Fox and Maxwell Roads. No evidence of a cobblestone structure can be seen with either Google Maps street level or satellite views. However, there is a plastered over (stucco) cobblestone schoolhouse, Macedon District No. 1 at 1113 Alderman Rd.., Town of Macedon, Wayne County, on the west side of Alderman Rd. about 1.6 miles north of the 271 Alderman Rd., Farmington address. This is believed to be the schoolhouse referred to by Carl Schmidt.
