    Comments, Additional Information, References

    At 3973 Canandaigua Road, there is a smokehouse which is called a springhouse in some lists. The fact that it is at the top of a hill and lacks a stream nearby makes the latter use improbable. Like many smokehouses, the quoins are irregular, and the stones extremely variable. At the bottom of the southwest corner is the remains of what appears to have been a brick base to the quoin.
