Upstate New York has a lot of Greek Revival, a lot of Gothic Revival, and a fair number of Cobblestone buildings. Here's a New York Times article about cobblestone houses. The article makes it sound almost as though the technique was used only for houses; I've seen cobblestone churches and barns. The technique does indeed make for attractive buildings!
