This house is located at 3792 Post Road, Town of Fayette. The upper floors were added to this original Federal-style house in the early 1900s. The Freier family has owned it for two generations. Prior to that it was owned by the Pontius family. The cobblestone portion dates to at least the 1840s. Richard Palmer blog.
