The round cobblestone smokehouse was on the West side of Gaines Basin Road, NORTH of W. Bacon Rd on David Bullard's property. It stood behind the house, was about 8 feet in diameter, and was medium fieldstone laid in rows with flat joints. It had a high peaked roof (about 45 degree angle) and roof boards were vertical. Bill Lattin quoted by Delia Robinson. Bill Lattin owns the Brigadier Bullard cobblestone House. See map excerpt below.
