Joseph L. Stone House

The Joseph L. Stone House, located at 77 Temple Street in Newton, Massachusetts, is a historic residence built in 1881 by banker Joseph L. Stone. This striking 2+1⁄2-story house features a unique architectural design with a brick first floor and wood frame upper levels, showcasing a three-part facade that includes a gabled roof section and a rounded tower topped with an octagonal roof. The house is adorned with decorative shingle work and an elaborately decorated porch. Adjacent to it is a carriage barn, now a residence, that mirrors the house's architectural style. Both structures were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, making them a noteworthy stop for tourists and researchers interested in historic architecture and local history.
