The main part of this two-story house at 4482 Cory Corners Road is quarried gray limestone blocks and is of the 1830-1840 while the smaller wing on the south side built of field cobbles may have been built in as a school house in the 1850s and was later used as a smokehouse and later was used as a kitchen and storage area.
