Inscription. On the eve of his marriage to Charlotte L. Howard (1891-1964) in 1912, William E. Stone (1884-1931) applied techniques he gleaned from architectural pattern books and his study of Frank Lloyd Wright to conceive the design plan for this house. Carl Shuman was contracted to integrate many structural and mechanical innovations into its 20th century bungalow house style. The land on which this home is located has stayed in the same family since 1850. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1992
