The Old Stone House

Heine CW. 1955. The Old Stone House. Historic Resource Study. National Park Service. Washington, D.C.

Acquisition of the Old Stone House by the National Park Service because of its architectural merit was approved by the Congress of the United States On September 25. 1950 (Public Law 836, 81st Cong.). Title was vested to the United States On March 17, 1953. Although there may still remain a few possible sources of information concerning the Old Stone House, it was deemed advisable to prepare this preliminary account based on the original records searched up to the time of writing. It seems very likely that further research, which fail to be carried On over a long period of time, will fail to uncover any significant facts about the house. The following account. based primarily upon original source material, including recently discovered District of Columbia records never before used, is an attempt to determine and evaluate the historical significance of this early structure.
