Two houses at Nunda and Oakland may have been constructed by the same builder. They both have limestone courses above the cellar windows which is an uncommon feature. The sizes and types of cobbles and quarried stone are similar. The house in Oakland appears to have been built earlier, but the mansard roof is much later. Neither appear to have their original windows. The house in Oakland has smaller windows. Richard Palmer blog.

"The Cobblestone Houses of Upstate New York", compiled by Dorothy Wells Pease. Research done in collaboration with Hazed B. Jeffery, supplemented with material furnished by Carl F. Schmidt, 1941. Reference the seventh complete paragraph on page 13.
"Cobblestone Architecture in the Rochester Area", by Gerda Peterich, 1953. Reference Oakland, N.Y. square cobblestone house and figure 55. Editor's Note: This digitized version of the original typescript manuscript is reformatted for digital display, edited for errors, and includes blue tinted highlighted links to improve access within the document, to the appropriate structure pages in the Cobblestone Info Base, or to external resources on the internet. This document is one of two known typescript drafts, likely a thesis or essay bound as a book and apparently never published. One is available in the Cobblestone Museum Resource Center, the other in the University of Rochester Art and Music Library. A companion or precursor typed paper of the same title exists, perhaps used for a talk and/or photographic display of cobblestone structures.
