The vertical mortar between stones is rarely embellished, but in some areas there are crude pyramids, cut off at the lower horizontal, which is V-shaped with sharp edges in some areas, while in others the sharp edge is missing.

This cobblestone structure sits behind a house at 3140 Maple Ave., about five miles north of the village of Palmyra. It probably was a small barn as it is too far from the house to be a summer kitchen. Also, no indication of a chimney (it possibly could have been removed). The lintels are wood construction.
