Kennedy Stone House, Historic stone residence in Salt Fork State Park, Ohio, United States.
The Kennedy Stone House spans forty feet in length and eighteen feet in width, constructed with sandstone blocks measuring up to nine feet long.
Benjamin Kennedy, an Irish immigrant, commissioned the construction of this two-story stone house in 1837 using native sandstone from the surrounding property.
The house represents the architectural influence of Celtic immigrants who applied their traditional stone masonry techniques to construct residences in nineteenth-century Ohio.
The Kennedy Stone House functions as a museum within Salt Fork State Park, featuring exhibits about local history and the Kennedy family legacy.
The structure includes a root cellar with diamond-shaped ventilation holes and dirt-lined walls that naturally regulate temperature throughout the seasons.
