[The scored mortar is] similar to Wal-10 Gagliano and Web-3 James-Heid. The marks were made by a double edged tool used to score both horizontal and vertical lines. In each instance, the vertical scoring originates in the upper left and extends toward the lower right. Thus the scoring appears to have been done by a right-handed mason. According to Carl Schmidt's book "Cobblestone Masonry" (1966), the mason on Web - 3 was a man named Dean. It would appear that Ont-4 and Wal-10 were built by the same man. Both Web-3 and Wal-10 have brick quoins. The legs of a triangle drawn between these three houses are roughly 4, 5 and 7 miles. Roudabush Survey page 27
