"The Geological Origin of Cobblestone Architecture", by Gerda Peterich. Specific reference to this structure on page 21.
"Cobblestone Architecture in the Rochester Area", by Gerda Peterich, 1953. Reference Bierhard House and figure 26. 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. Note name difference Neulendyke vs Meulendyke. A companion or precursor typed paper of the same title exists, perhaps used for a talk and/or photographic display of cobblestone structures.
