In the [[Finger Lakes]] Region of New York State, the retreat of the glaciers during the last ice age left numerous small, rounded cobblestones available for building.  Pre-Civil War architecture in the region made heavy use of cobblestones for walls.  Today, the fewer than 600 remaining cobblestone buildings are prized as historic locations, most of them private homes. Ninety percent of the cobblestone buildings in America can be found within a 75-mile radius of Rochester, New York.<ref>{{cite web |title=Cobblestone Architecture |url=https://orleanscountytourism.com/cobblestone/ |website=Orleans County Tourism |access-date=30 January 2020}}</ref> There is also a cluster of cobblestone buildings in the Town of [[Paris, Ontario|Paris]], [[Ontario]]. In addition to homes, cobblestones were used to build barns, stagecoach taverns, smokehouses, stores, churches, schools, factories, and cemetery markers.

The only public cobblestone building in the US is the [[Alexander Classical School]], located in [[Alexander (village), New York|Alexander, New York]].<span class="anchor" id="Cycling"></span>[[Image:Setts cobblestones.JPG|thumb|upright|Setts visible beneath cracked asphalt in [[New Bedford, Massachusetts|New Bedford]], MA]]
