Old Stone House is the oldest structure in the Village of South Orange and one of the oldest in Essex County. Of archaeological interest for the incorporation of a possible stone structure, the building is architecturally significant as a distinguished 19th-century residence with an unusual stylistic evolution.

Vacant for many years, roof deterioration and water damage have weakened the house. The Trust grant will fund the structure's stabilization and prevention of water penetration.

This grant funded construction documents necessary to plan the structure's stabilization.
