General John Hathorn Stone House

The General John Hathorn Stone House is a two-story stone residence in Warwick with seven bedrooms and multiple fireplaces. The building stands on about 1.5 acres of land and includes a converted carriage house that served different purposes over the years.

The house was built in 1773 and its thick stone walls provided protection during the American Revolutionary War. The structure survived this period and was later expanded with Victorian-era improvements that reflected changing architectural preferences.

The residence reflects how colonial families lived and organized their homes, with multiple hearths suggesting both practical heating and spaces for daily family activities. The later additions show how inhabitants adapted the house to changing tastes and ways of living over time.

The property sits about one mile south of Warwick village and roughly one hour from New York City by car. The grounds offer visitors space to see the main house and converted carriage house in their setting.

The west gable displays brick lettering that spells out initials and a date directly into the wall's surface. This type of personalized marking on the exterior was a way for builders to claim their work and preserve the construction date for future generations.
