    Comments, Additional Information, References

    This home at 3 Cross Meadow Drive (previously 784 Stone Road) exemplifies the roots of Pittsford's past. With all the charm and functionality of a pioneer home and the ease of modern updates, it includes original wide plank floors, blown glass windows, early wrought iron hardware, hewn beams, and an unusual cobblestone wall. This home is occasionally on historic house tours. It was built by Simon Stone II, nephew of Simon Stone, as a four-room house with two bedrooms. After falling into disrepair it was restored by new owners in the 1940s. It is part of the Town of Pittsford Mile Historic District. Richard Palmer blog.

    House excellent but only one small exterior wall is of cobblestone. This was a summer kitchen added onto original house (frame). Owner Dr. Clifford D. Ford. Cobblestone Museum survey, Pittsford - Mendon area, handwritten notes 10/13/1968
