Located on the Northwestern Turnpike (U.S. Route 50) near Junction, West Virginia west of Romney it has served as a stage coach stop as well as a private residence. The Stone House has been owned by two families: the Sloan family until 1854 when it was sold to the Parker brothers: John, Peyton, Benjamin, and William. Current owners are third generation Parkers: Mr. John Henry Parker, Jr. and family.
