Known as the Upson-Brudage House, 10785 Ridge Road, or Old Route 104 about five miles west of Wolcott. Due to its location far below perhaps 15 to 20 feet below the highway, which was raised at some point, it is virtually out of sight. It was built by Solomon Upson in 1847-48. Richard Palmer blog.

Editor's Note: This digitized version of the original typescript manuscript is reformatted for digital display, edited for errors, and includes blue tinted highlighted links to improve access within the document, to the appropriate structure pages in the Cobblestone Info Base, or to external resources on the internet. This document is one of two known typescript drafts, likely a thesis or essay bound as a book and apparently never published. One is available in the Cobblestone Museum Resource Center, the other in the University of Rochester Art and Music Library. A companion or precursor typed paper of the same title exists, perhaps used for a talk and/or photographic display of cobblestone structures.

The Upson-Brundage House is located some distance east in the Town of Huron, Wayne County, has the same build date and description of bands of red and white cobblestones. He states that it is several miles east of Alton, and Palmer states about five miles west of Wolcott.
