It is the location of the Albion-based Cobblestone Society's Cobblestone Museum.The buildings are in the Federal and Greek Revival styles typical of their era.

They are currently owned by the Cobblestone Society, which has restored and preserved them since the 1960s. Currently the largest building, a former Universalist church that is the oldest cobblestone church in North America, is used as a museum. Another building, a school, is one of only two that use the cobblestones as an outer veneer.
