Town of Wolcott and Wayne County Maps
The Furnace Village District 10 cobblestone school house is located at 6760 West Port Bay Road in the town of Wolcott. It has been extensively remodeled over the years. The Lakes Shore News of Wolcott on September 6, 1906 reported:
"Furnace Village School House - A correspondent writing of the Furnace village school house, says no one knows who built it. It was built by Levi Smith, the same man who built the Foster cobblestone house in Wolcott. We have this on the authority of Wesley Hendrick, of Sterling Valley, who lived there when the school house was built."
Furnace Village, located north of Wolcott, at one time included a foundry that produced farm implements, a saw mill and a dozen houses. It was first settled in 1805. Richard Palmer email.
