The mansion was originally built by General Ashael Stone in 1872 and has went through several owners, and is now maintained and owned by Dann and Richard Allen of Save the Old Properties. On March 21, 1979 the home was added the National Register of Historic Places.
 
A very unique feature of the 7,000 square foot mansion are the third floor windows. General Stone enjoyed star gazing and had the third floor windows extended beyond the house to have a clearer view of the night sky. On November 7, 1985, a previous owner opened a restaurant in the home called the "Stone Mansion Inn, Inc".
