Editor's Note: In "The Permanent File of Cobblestone Structures" Mr. Nellie Ward Klick states the structure was built about 1821 along with the comment that the Stewart-Canfield House was worked on alternately by the same mason. If so, the Stewart-Canfield House documentation states 1835.
Remodeled 1900, all chimneys were removed.
