Please Respect Private Property Owner Rights
Most cobblestone structures are on private property and not open to the public. When using Info Base provided location documentation to visit and view cobblestone sites on private property, you must do so only from public streets. Only the owner of record may authorize you to enter private property.
Any form of photography must be respectively done from public access areas outside the boundaries of private property. The use of a drone with camera is not permitted in the airspace within private property boundaries without owner of record permission. Photography for profit likely would require a property release for the building, and model releases if recognizable people are in the image.
Please use care and respect in posting images of cobblestone structures on social media.

The following is a circa 1960s note to Cobblestone Society and Museum members and public visitors to the Museum. Times have changed and some cobblestone residents may be overly concerned with privacy, safety and personal rights. Please use good judgement and courtesy when cobblestoning.
Each website structure page in the Cobblestone Info Base provides exact GPS location for virtually all documented structures. The address provided is usually the property address which is confirmed with public Tax Assessor records and cannot be assumed to be the US Postal Service mailing address or street number for the structure. Google Maps street level (usually available) and satellite views, and Town/Township and County maps are provided for all New York State and some other state/country structures. Town maps have structure locations marked and are "click on links" to each structure website page. This provided information should allow a cobblestoner to easily make a tour travel plan to visit the authentic cobblestone structures in a desired area.
Many no longer existing or a few ruins are documented in the Cobblestone Info Base. An effort is made to provide the location of those structures; albeit, often approximate unless a later still existing structure was known to have been built on the exact same location. This if often the case with schoolhouses or churches. DO NOT enter abandoned cobblestone structures or ruins, or take souvenirs without property owner permission. Deterioration and vandalism likely have made these structures unsafe and dangerous.
