Stone House
The Stone House, built in the 1920s, renovated by John Kluge in the early 1990s, and again in 2009 by an adjunct faculty member and architect, Richard Price. With its most recent renovation, the Stone House has affectionately been coined, “the war room.” The Stone House includes two restrooms, and a second-floor conference room, with seating for 20, surrounded by raised, press-board walls, accented with modern lighting that splashes on the wall-boards surrounding the large, conference table. The conference room opens onto a second floor porch, supported by native stone arches (and likely built by previous owners, the Stones), giving the Stone House its name. The views from the conference room porch and windows spill over into the valley leading to Ash Lawn – Highland, providing panoramic displays of the seasons and farm. The Stone House is ideal for retreats, seminars, engaging lectures, and includes a power point screen and projector.
Capacity: 20 lecture; 35 Reception
