county and state ===================================================================

Standing opposite Thomas Stone's dwelling on Rose Hill Road near Port Tobacco, "Stone's Throw" occupies a 14-acre site defined by a rolling open topography and scattered mature trees. The house consists of a symmetrical 2-story Vernacular Victorian frame dwelling with a low-pitched side gable roof and matching interior chimneys at either gable end. The house has been significantly altered over the years, al though the interior central passage, single-pile plan remains intact.

The "Stone's Throw" property occupies a 14-acre lot on the east side of Rose Hill Road directly opposite the National Historic Landmark property of "Habre-de-venture," the home of Thomas Stone, signer of the Declaration of Independence(see CH-5). The house stands atop a small rise approximately twenty yards east of the road. Several mature trees surround the house, and three non­historic outbuildings accompany the main dwelling.

The main dwelling house consists of three parts: the original central 3-bay side gable structure and two 2-story frame wings set on either side. According to the present owner, some evidence suggests that the south wing contains portions of the original house, that may have been a story and a half in height. However, no physical evidence remains visible to support this assertion. The northern wing, on the other hand, was added in the 1950s and contains a kitchen on the first floor. A second, 2-story addition was made behind the 1950s frame addition in 1966. This addition incorporates a massive exterior chimney on its north wall.

The building's low-pitched side gable roof is broken by two interior end brick chimney stacks. Each stack is crowned by a corbeled cap. The house features a low-pitched gable roof covered with asphalt shingles that terminates in open eaves. The pitch of the side wings' roofs match that of the main section, but are set slightly lower, below the original gable end eaves. The foundation of the original section appears to consist of a continuous brick foundation, while the north and south wings and the rear addition stand on continuous poured concrete foundations. Reclad in vinyl siding, much of the house's original window trim was obscured when the new siding was applied.

The original portion of the house features a central entry flanked by single 6/6 double-hung wood sash windows on either side. Above these three bays are three vertically aligned window bays also holding 6/6 sash. Two-part, beaded wood casings surround the window openings, while a replacement Colonial Revival surround

adorns the entrance. The south 2-story wing contains one large 6/6 sash window on the first story and a much smaller 6/6 sash on the second. The north wing is pierced by a pair of 6/6 sash windows on the first story and a single 6/6 window on the second.

The south gable end of the south wing is pierced by two window openings. The first opening, located on the first story, contains a paired 6/6 wood sash window, while the second opens into the upper story and holds a single 6/6 sash. The rea~ of the building is dominated by a one-story shed roofed porch that extends across the rear of the original house and its south wing. On this elevation, the original house is organized in a similar manner to the facade. It features a centered doorway that has been closed off and flanking 6/6 sash windows. An additional three windows pierce the second story of the original dwelling here. Again the south wing holds two vertically stacked 6/6 sash windows.

The 1966 rear addition sits on a continuous poured concrete foundation with a raised basement and a gable roof. The addition is pierced by variously configured sash windows and one projecting "bay" window on its east elevation. Two doors provide entry to this section, one on the north side and the other on the south side of the addition.

The gable end of the north kitchen addition holds a paired 6/6 sash window on the first story and a single 6/6 sash window on the second story.

INTERIOR:

The original house is simply organized around a central passage that contains the stair and front and rear entries. Two rooms, a living room and a dining room flank the central hall. Each room features a projecting chimney breast with a standard Victorian­style mantel. Somewhat plainer Victorian mantels adorn the second floor fireplaces. Much of the interior trim has been replaced or added, including the crown molding, window and door trim. The baseboards and flooring of the first floor were replaced when the house was initially restored in the 1950s, however, the original floors remain on the second floor.

OUTBUILDINGS:

Three non-historic outbuildings share the 14-acre lot with the

historic dwelling. One is a 1960s/1970s frame garage designed to look like a barn. The garage has a front gable roof covered in standing seam metal and flanking sheds on either side. The building sits on a continuous concrete foundation and is clad in board-and-batten siding.

The second non-historic outbuilding is a 1-story frame stable erected in the 1980s. Oriented north to south, the stable features a side gable corrugated metal roof with a shed extension off its north gable end. The building is fronted by an open porch and clad in unpainted wood weatherboards.

A third non-historic ancillary building consists of a small, pre­fabricated shed set on concrete block piers and clad in faux vertical board siding. The shed has a side gable roof clad in asphalt shingles.

Charles County. Maryland county and state

Erroneously dated to the mid-19th century, "Stone's Throw" actually dates to the last quarter of the nineteenth century and exhibits typical features of the local vernacular building tradition. Built for a local tinsmith and dealer of stoves, the house retains portions of its original Victorian era interior finishes, and thus reflects the typical decorative style of the period.

"Stone's Throw" was built circa 1883 by Benedict Wheeler on a ten­acre portion of "Clamber Hill" which he purchased from George P. Jenkins in 1883. Wheeler made his living as a tinsmith and was also active in the sale of residential heating and cooking stoves. 1

In 1897, he extended his land holdings in the area by purchasing the remaining 133 acres of "Clamber Hill" from the heirs of George P. Jenkins. At Wheeler's death, his property passed to his children who eventually sold it to one sibling, Eunice, and her husband R. Smith Swann. The Swanns occupied the house until 1927 when they sold it to Thomas D., Caroline B. and Elizabeth H. Stone, all descendants of Thomas Stone of "Habre-de-venture" across Rose Hill Road (CH-5) . By this time the property was known variously as "Clamber Hill" or "The Wheeler Property."

In 1947, Thomas D. and Elizabeth Stone entered into a mortgage with Carl Gardiner, upon which they later defaulted. On April 3, 1956, a 16 -acre portion of the Stone's property was sold at public auction to Peter Vischer. Vischer renovated the house, which had no electricity or indoor plumbing when he bought it, and shortly thereafter, in 1958, sold it to the present owners.

The house has been significantly altered on the exterior over the years. Several substantial additions have been made (see section 7) , and due to the poor condition of the building at the time Peter Vischer purchased it, some original interior features were removed and replaced. However, the interior layout remains intact in the original section of the building, as do the original Victorian era mantels. The exterior has been altered by the removal of an original front porch, the re-cladding of the walls in vinyl siding, and the replacement of the main entrance surround with a Colonial Revival-style casing. Despite these substantial alterations, "Stone's Throw" is representative of a typical middle-class tradesman's dwelling of the late 19th century.

CH-26 Stone's Throw Port Tobacco Private

mid 19th century

"Stones Throw'' was probably built about 1840-50 and was originally the

home of a tinker.

The house is of frame construction, two stories, one room deep, and two

plus center hall in length. The front wall is three bays wide, with a center door

flanked by single windows on the first floor, and three windows on the second

floor. The rear wall has two windows down and two up. The roof is a shallow

"A" frame with a single stove chimney (enlarged during a recent renovation) at

each end. There are small, Victorian, first floor fireplaces.

At both gable ends are additions, as well as one to the rear of the north

gable addition. This last addition possesses a large double flue chimney and a

stack exposed on its north wall.

Early Victorian moldings in the original (center) portion include mantels,

doors, and hardware.
