This is a stone structure and not considered a true cobblestone, although the architecture is identical with the exception that cut stones instead of cobblestones were used in the construction. The building date is consistent with the cobblestone construction time period.
The Jesse Smith house was built in 1833 and is known as a Greek Revival style house. Stones for the facing are English cut-stones cut in two with the flat side exposed on the outer wall. They are approximately 4" wide and laid in the same manner as those used in regular cobblestone construction. This home is located on the Maple Road north of Nelson Road.
This structure is not included in the Roudabush Survey.
