I tried to photograph it a year ago but it was so covered with vegetation it was impossible to do so. It buts up against the Thruway. The driveway entrance is off Reeves Road. 10MAY2018 Email, Richard Palmer blog.
Editor's Note: Transcription of not dated, hand written note in Cobblestone Museum archives: Federal style, good condition. Important for its brick detailing around doors and windows, similar to Hen-7 Tobin-Mathews, and other English examples [View 1, View 2, View 3 and View 4]. Has wooden addition to south, and huge collection of bolders. Retains original windows. Location spoilt by Clover Street and I-90 thruway embankments.
