The Roudabush Survey lists this structure as not cobblestone; however, with similar construction, but utilizing in the majority flat fieldstone.
This is not a cobblestone house, but from the road one can see that the exposed mortar has been grouted. It is missing in some areas, exposing the inner mortar. Also, some of the mortar covers corners of stones, showing that it was pressed in from outside after the wall had been built. Roudabush Survey page 74
