    Patrick Molloy house, Molloy Road, at SW corner of Town Line Rd, Mattydale, NY Built 1850, burned 1954. See article in Cicero Record, July 29, 1954. It was taken for the air base in 1941, but used by the military. Richard Palmer blog.

    Editor's Note: The Cobblestone Museum archive file, Permanent File of Cobblestone Structures, states the structure location as NW corner of Molloy and Town Line Roads. Palmer states SW corner.

    Was a 22 room house owned at the time by Mrs. Robert Welsh. "Cobblestone Buildings in Onondaga County", 1992, Structure No. 40, compiled by Glenn Hinchey. Editor's Note: Contradiction with Palmer's research above: Hinchey states "Demolished in 1942 to build air base."
