Regarding The Stone House. Excerpt from the National Register of Historic Places nomination for the building:
… The building probably dates from the middle 1850's. Early title owners were largely noted area speculators including Laurel Summers (who platted thetown of Parkhurst, now part of LeClaire), James Eads and Lyman Smith.

Documented owner-residents included Henry Stone (1793-1876), farmer, settled in the county in 1844, owned the house from 1866 through 1877; L.G. Condit (1809-1881), farmer, who with wife Phoebe occupied the house through 1881 with one hired farm worker; and Emma Parmelee (daughter of the Condits) and her husband Henry who lived in the house as late as 1885 with Phoebe Condit. The Parmelees sold the house to the Hurd family in 1892 and that family owned it as late as 1920 but do not appear to have lived in the house.
