Beautiful West Stockholm, NY - Part 3

I was touring the tiny hamlet of West Stockholm, NY (see also parts 1 and 2, posted previously). I turned around on Hatch Road and returned to County Route 57, where I turned right (south) onto the one lane bridge over the icy St. Regis River:

At the end of the bridge was this giant old house, much larger than it appears in this photo, dominating the main intersection in town. The size of the place and the two huge front windows hinted that it may once have been an inn and/or a country store. Remember this building, for we will return to it:

I continued south on County Route 57, stopping to snap photos as I went:

This classic old farm house appeared to have had a number of additions over the years:

And a colorful, comfortable, country style home with Christmas decorations:

A very old home, set back from the road a bit:

I turned around on County Route 57 and returned to the main intersection, turning right (east) onto Livingston Road at the big building I'd seen earlier. As I said then, it was much larger than it appeared from the front:

West Stockholm, tiny as it is, has its own Post Office - and it's a darn busy one:

A colorful house which also had extra-large front windows. Was it once a country store?

A former (or current?) farm house with a nice front porch:

I couldn't fit all of this historic, rambling farm house into one picture:

An elegant brick home:

I sure remembered this home from my 2013 driving tour. I was as impressed then as I was this time. What a beautiful place to live, both the buildings and the location:

Another family farm, pretty enough to be a calendar page:

I stopped to photograph this maple sap collection setup, all ready for spring. The lines fed into that small building. My driving tour ended abruptly here because my camera got so cold that the battery stopped working. So I put the camera in my pocket and continued on home:
