Agett - Heidenreich House history sheet. From the personal research of cobblestone historian Karen Crandall.
Editor's Note: There is a contradiction of addresses. Roudabush states 1560 in his Survey page 118; however the label on his photograph states 1704. Karen Crandall in her History Sheet states 1702; therefore, the uninhabited structure, regardless of state, would assume the address of the property parcel where it is located, (542800) 71111-00-778963, as stated by Karen who verified that ruins remain from her on-site visit 5/5/2012. No current update provided.
A cobblestone house at 1560 Warncke Road sets on a hill about 150 yards from the road. When photographed (9/8/80), it was unoccupied and was in a state of disrepair. The owner said that it was to be razed later in 1980 or early 1981. This two story house has irregular gray limestone quoins, and the stones are relatively large and are smoothed but irregular. The stones vary in color and are laid usually two rows per quoin, but vary from one to three, depending on the height of the quoin. Mortar between stones is relatively thick - about half the size of the stones - and is not embellished. The lintels over the windows and door are made of wood. A one story addition has been added to the north end, but apparently is not a true cobblestone structure. On the close-up of the west (front) wall, between the fifth and sixth rows of stones, the mortar shows a crack at the top of the stone in row five. This is apparently the line where work stopped for several days and started later. Roudabush Survey page 118
