    Comments, Additional Information, References

    At 3333 Ritter Road, there is a one and one-half story house with a center entrance and two windows on each side of it. Over the lintel of each of these windows, there is a crude numeral built into the wall by arrangement of stones. These numerals, reading from left to right, form the date the house was built, 1843. Quoins are irregular but smoothed, and are arranged in four rows per quoin. The mortar between stones contains shallow pyramids, cut off at the bottom. Roudabush Survey page 101
