The Howland Cobblestone Store, also known as the Howland Stone Store Museum, is a 19th-century store significant for its cobblestone architecture. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1] At the time of its nomination, the owners were in the process of removing the stucco that had covered the cobblestones since the 1850s.[2] That process has since been completed.
The store was originally owned by Slocum Howland, a Quaker, an abolitionist, a prohibitionist and a suffragist. Among the things sold in his store was the cast iron plow invented locally by his brother-in-law Jethro Wood.[2]
Cobblestone architecture was developed in New York State to a high degree. A survey identified 660 cobblestone structures in 21 New York counties. There may be approximately 300 elsewhere in the United States, concentrated in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, and Vermont.[3]
