[1][2] Horatio Stone moved to Scott County in 1839 and his brother Henry followed in 1844.

The Stone School was a rectangular-shaped structure built of limestone that was quarried locally.

The distinctive feature of the structure was a belfry with louvred, round arch openings.

The windows and doors were evenly spaced and each one was topped with decorative stone lintels.

An ocular window with stone molding was located on the gable end.
