This house at 4184 Washington St., Pultneyville, was built 1832 by stone mason Washington Throop for his brother Captain Horatio Nelson Throop, a noted lake captain and steamboat magnate. It was completed in time for the marriage of Captain Throop to Mary F. Ledyard. Quoins, lentils and front door surround with transom window are red sandstone. The house features a wide frieze and crescent windows in the gable ends. Large cobbles were used which is unusual since the house is near the shore of Lake Ontario were lake cobbles were plentiful. Formerly a bed and breakfast. Richard Palmer blog.
