Though the Faculty of Journalism was founded in 1914, it had no permanent and acceptable home until 1937, when this building was completed with the aid of PWA funding. Quite a step up from the original four tents pitched in 1914.

Vaguely Renaissance Revival in style, the Journalism Building, now known as the Stone Building, is dedicated to a prior Dean of the University, Dean Arthur Stone. It stands in the second tier of buildings from The Oval, south of the western half of it.
A contributing building to the University of Montana Historic District, more information on the building can be found on Page 9, Section 7 of the U of M Continuation Sheet.
Stone Hall
Dean Arthur Stone pitched four tents near the Oval in 1914, thereby founding the University’s School of Journalism. An old bicycle shed and later World War I army barracks served as quarters for this discipline, then considered “non-essential.” After a long struggle, the Public Works Administration appropriated building funds. Architects R. C. Hugenin of Butte and Norman DeKay of Helena designed the 1937 Renaissance Revival-inspired building, adding liberal modern touches and asymmetrically placed windows. Home of the university newspaper, The Kaimin, and dedicated to Dean Stone, this building represents the hard-won acceptance of journalism as an academic discipline.
