Map views courtesy Google Maps. GIS Database and Google Earth confirm 12687 Upton Road; 43°13'52.73"N 76°41'12.65"W. Current owner of record Hass 190302.
Note that there is a conflict on street address. Roudabush states 12701 Upton Rd., Palmer states 1267, image Vic-1 12687 Upton Rd 1.jpg below clearly shows 12707. Reviewing the Assessor Tax 2020 Tax Roll, the Google Maps Satellite and street level views, and the GIS Parcel Map and Parcel Data, the correct property address is 12687 Upton Rd., owner Hass. 12707 Upton Rd. property address is an adjacent parcel to the north with a recent residence structure. The two parcels may have in the past been under the same ownership and address.
NOTE
Town of Victory and Cayuga County Maps
A very few cobblestone buildings are constructed with rounded corners, obviating the need for quoins. Only six such buildings were found, and occur in only three counties. In Cayuga, Ven-1 Vanorman Cay-12 and this building Vic-1 Haas Cay-13; in Monroe, Cla-7 Jones-Mercer, Cla-7a Jones-Mercer Barn and Cla-11 Galbraith; and in Ontario, Gen-1a Gazebo, are constructed in this manner.

This is the former District School house No. 7 of Town of Victory at 1267* Upton Road. Note no stone quoins but the walls are solid. Although within a few miles of Lake Ontario, it is built of rough field cobblestones. The window frames are original. For many years it was the home of the Haas family. Courtesy Richard Palmer.
