This structure at 6452 Victor-Manchester Road (Route 96) in East Victor was built in 1836 by Charles S. Felt as a general store. It was sold in 1841 to Samuel Rawson upon the death of Felt to settle debts. In 1905 it was purchased by Barney Goldfarb was operated by his family as a general store until the mid-1970s. A succession of businesses have occupied the building over the years. It was last operated as an antiques shop but is now closed. The second floor is living quarters. Richard Palmer blog.

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. A companion or precursor typed paper of the same title exists, perhaps used for a talk and/or photographic display of cobblestone structures.
