A Romanesque Revival structure built in 1890,[1] it was designed by Samuel Hannaford and Sons for leading Cincinnati citizen George N. Stone and his wife Martha E. Stone, who was a survivor of the sinking of the Titanic, and their two daughters.

[2] After Stone's lifetime, the house became a center for a Cincinnati chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous,[1] which continues to host meetings at the property.

[3] Located on a corner lot,[4]: 5  Hannaford's design features such distinctive elements as a round turret at the house's most prominent corner and a large gable on the house's front.

Individuals may enter the house through a Romanesque entryway, which is accessed by a large front porch.

Dozens of nineteenth-century Hannaford designs remain in Cincinnati, including twenty houses; many of them have been deemed worthy of historic preservation because of their distinctive architecture.
