The Roudabush Survey does not provide a street address, but does mark the general location on the Town of Sterling map; however, that location is not definitive. Using Google Maps satellite view, the location is not apparent, especially since there are significant areas of thick woods and vegetation. An intern for the Landmark Society, Luke Nicosia, reviewed the Roudabush Survey street addresses and states an address of 1689 Fintches Corners; however, no documentation is provided to substantiate that address. Richard Palmer in his blog states that the building is now gone.

Additions to Schmidt's list - On Fintches Corner Road, there is the remains of a house. The owner plans to reconstruct it as soon as possible. The house has quoins constructed of bricks with three rows of stones per quoin. Stones are smoothed and are of various sizes and colors. The mortar has a sharp horizontal edge, while the vertical mortar is embellished slightly between stones. The masonry resembles in much of its detail the house at 14555 Lake St., Fairhaven (Cay-11), which is only 4 miles away, "as the crow flies". It is possible that they were both made by the same mason. Roudabush Survey page 45
