The oldest part of this unusual house was built circa 1850 as a luxurious billiard hall by David Stanton, whose brother Frederic Stanton built Stanton Hall.  The billiard hall stood on the grounds of "The Elms", David Stanton's home.  It was expanded into a house around 1870 by David Stanton and his two sons.  The house was acquired in 1877 by Joseph Newman Stone and his wife Theodora Britton, great-grandparents of the present owner, and is now on the National Register of Historic Places.  A complete restoration was undertaken from 1999 to 2002, winning the Historic Natchez Foundation's 2003 Restoration Award.
