Comments, Additional Information, References

This house at 1191 Manitou Road was built by Isaac Chase about 1850. Stones were collected for years before the house was built. A nephew, James Darwin Chase, said he assisted in gathering the stones from the nearby lake shore which were hauled by wagon to the construction site. Richard Palmer blog.
