In addition to the long essay that sums up his findings, Verlyn created an individual record for each of the 152 cobblestone structures located in Wayne County. These generally consist of a photograph or two of the building, some historical background, and information about the current owners, as well as a listing of architectural details about the stones, joints, mortar, lintels, quoins, and sides.
