Located in Benton, Yates County, New York, the William Nichols Cobblestone Farmhouse is a Greek Revival residence built around 1844. Constructed of reddish lakewashed cobbles in a distinctive 1½-story, L-shaped plan, it represents a notable example of cobblestone domestic architecture from the mid-nineteenth century. The property includes a barn and smokehouse. Among only nine surviving cobblestone buildings in Yates County, the farmhouse was recognized for its historical significance when it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
