Erected in 1868, the venerable Stone House, located upon the campus of The Pines Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center, 9822 Route 16, Machias, NY, is the sole surviving structure of the 19th Century Cattaraugus County Alms-House and Insane Asylum, which became the Cattaraugus County Home/Farm and Infirmary.
Throughout its 135-year history, the Stone House has been on the chopping block before. Thanks to the foresight of the former County Legislatures, however, the Stone House was recognized for its historical value, and spared from demolition. To its credit, the current Legislature has maintained the Stone House in fine condition and today is a fully functional, handicapped-accessible building which serves as the Cattaraugus County Historical Museum & Research Center.
The shelter sign does not indicate the capacity of the shelter (hence citing "0" capacity in the required field). Also, please note that the coordinates above will take you to the back entrance to the Museum. However, the fallout sign is located at the front of the facilty (facing Route 16).
