This is the only concrete block house found in the historic district and one of the few in Salem. It is believed to have been built by Clark B. Stone, a cement worker who later lived in the Charles O. Rose house, located next door. The house is built of concrete blocks that were stamped with a decorative pattern. Mr. Stone never lived in the house and sold it in 1911 to William R. Leach.
