On the same ground a smokehouse with a side wall in bad condition. The smokehouse was slated to be torn down in 1978. The smokehouse had no mortar between stones on the outer surface, but had mortar on the inner face, sealing the room against the loss of smoke. This smokehouse resembles in certain features the one at Nap-1 Dorschell; the latter was built with quoins which are now held together with mortar on the outside. Roudabush Survey page 86
Another smoke house, built in 1841 was rescued from destruction by Leigh Rehner Jones who owns and resides in the cobblestone house at 3301 Algerine Road, Town of Hopewell, Ontario County. It's in back of the house. It was brought over piece by piece from its original site on Lake To Lake Road in the Town of Seneca. The work was done by Ross Marshall, a stone mason, in 2001.
