Editor's Note: In the book "Cobblestone Masonry", 1966, Page 250 in the drawing "Method of Laying Cobblestones and Striking the Joints", and Page 258 in the drawing "Various Types of Cobblestone Walls", Carl Schmidt refers to a cobblestone structure on Haak Road near Walworth. Haak Road is a short road to the SE of Walworth (Town of Walworth), terminating with Daansen Rd. (Town of Macedon) and Maple Avenue (Town of Palmyra), split with the Town line of the Town of Macedon and the Town of Palmyra in Wayne County. No cobblestone structure was found using street level view or satellite view with Google Maps or Google Earth Pro 1994-2015.Editor's Note: On Page 258 above, there is a detailed description of how the stones are arranged by color on the buildings exterior walls. This matches exactly the description provided in the Cobblestone Society & Museum 10th Annual Tour 06/06/1970 pamphlet for the Larson House, 3353 Daansen Rd., Town of Walworth, Wayne County. The building is located just within the Town of Walworth border next to the Town of Macedon. The intersection of Daansen Rd. and Haak Rd. is just short distance south of 3353 Daansen Rd. in the Town of Macedon.
Carl F. Schmidt did not include any detailed information about this structure in either the Towns of Walworth or Macedon section of the book "Cobblestone Masonry", 1966. Known in the Cobblestone Info Base as Wal-5, Van Orden, 3353 Daansen Rd., the descriptions on pages 250 and 258 agree with the Robert Roudabush photographs displayed in the Wall-5 Van Orden structure page. Many thanks to Cobblestone Info Base co-editor Karen Crandall for researching this issue and via a 7/18/2022 email reporting the solution.
