    Houses with a variable number of courses of stones on one wall are relatively few in number. The house at 751 Crowley Rd. is one of the few having equal quoins and variable number of rows of stones. The majority of quoins has 3 rows irregularly alternating with 4 rows. The stones are relatively large, irregularly shaped and slightly smoothed. Windows on the first floor have quoin-like cut stones on each side. The door has a similar arrangement and is set in the middle with 2 windows on each side. Vertical mortar is rather heavy depressed at the top and cut off at the bottom. Roudabush Survey page 85
