This 10-room cobblestone house at 180 Pardee Road was built in 1847 by Hiram Pardee. Henry Clark of Webster was the mason and Alexander Wilson was the carpenter. Stones were gathered from the lake shore near Irondequoit Bay Outlet and the remainder from the beach at Webster Park. Originally this house included a 100-acre farm. Richard Palmer blog.

Pardee Home Changes Hands in Irondequoit, Rochester Times Union, Feb. 2, 1940
Purchase of the century-old Pardee home at 180 Pardee Road, Irondequoit, by Ormond J. Dailey, 110 Hawley, has been announced by the Lum Real Estate Co. Built by the Pardee family, early settlers of the region, on their 100-acre farm, the structure is one of the outstanding examples of early cobblestone artistry. It has remained in the family until now, although sale of parcels from time to time has dwindled the property to a lot 100 by 140 feet. At present it is occupied by Herbert Pardee. One of the features of the 10-room house, is the spacious 16 by 32 feet living room and large fireplace. Richard Palmer, email 02/09/2019.
