Lathrop-Munn Cobblestone House

The Lathrop-Munn Cobblestone House is a 1.5-story Greek Revival-styled house built about 1848 in Beloit, Wisconsin, striking for the care with which the mason arranged the tiny cobbles.

[2] John Hackett was one of the first permanent settlers in Beloit - the first storekeeper and postmaster.

It's unclear if the house was there when Hackett sold the lot to Frederick A Lathrop in 1848.

The style is Greek Revival, seen in the low pitch of the roof, the frieze board beneath the eaves, the cornice returns, and the simple straight limestone lintels above the windows.

Beyond that, they are matched for color, so that four rows of light-colored stones alternate with four rows of darker stones, producing faint alternating bands - a pleasing effect.
