Beautiful West Stockholm, NY - Part 2

I was touring the tiny, woodsy hamlet of West Stockholm, NY (see also Part 1, posted yesterday), and came across this tiny building which seemed to be half buried in snow. Was it once a house? It looked like it, but was so small it may have been a summer cottage. It appeared to now be unused:

An old barn with a large front window:

Another bungalow, this one with an addition to give it livable space. It appeared to be occupied and was certainly well kept:

This home looked as if it might have originally been a barn. The two front doors may have indicated that it is now a duplex:

A classic farm house with a small barn out back and a wonderful wrap-around porch:

I was still on County Route 57, but turned right onto Hatch Road just before the one lane bridge over the St.Regis River. That's the "center of town" just across the bridge:

I drove west on Hatch Road but stopped to photograph this magnificent, historic home. The original part of the house was built of Potsdam Red Sandstone:

An elegant brick home, with a carriage house out back:

I continued on Hatch Road as it became more rural:

Another historic home, part Potsdam Red Sandstone and part brick:

A farm house and barns, set back behind the trees and pretty enough to be a picture postcard:

A front view of the above farm house:

These two tiny buildings sat far off the road and I had to use my zoom lens to photograph them. Were they summer cottages, livestock sheds or something else? I suppose I'll never know, but they appeared to be on the banks of the St. Regis River:

Closer to the road was this building, apparently a former barn, converted to a home or apartment. But there was still much more to see in West Stockholm, and I'll post Part 3 tomorrow:
