Moses and Mary Hart Stone House and Ranch Complex

The Moses and Mary Hart Stone House is a stone residence with Renaissance Revival features built in Malheur County. The complex includes several structures that together made up a working ranch for livestock and grain production.

The ranch was established during Oregon's pioneer settlement period and shows early livestock development in the region. The property remains from the 1800s expansion of ranching operations into this part of the state.

The stone house reflects how early settlers in Oregon expressed their prosperity and refined taste through substantial construction. Building in Renaissance Revival style was a way to show education and success in a remote farming region.

The complex sits on rural land and is best reached by car from main routes. Visitors should allow time to walk around all the buildings and outdoor areas of the property.

The house merges formal European design principles with the practical demands of a working livestock operation. This mix of elegance and function shows how early wealthy farmers expressed their modern ideals in a frontier setting.
