The Stone Building, also known as the Stone Barn, is a small, two-story building near the edge of the Hemlock Gorge reservation. It is one of the few remaining buildings of the Gorge’s industrial era, and the last industrial building located downstream. The restoration of the building has been a longtime agenda item of the Friends. This has included repairs and reconstruction of its roof, windows, lighting, landscaping, electrical system, foundation, flooring, and fencing.
The building has a dedicated section in Ken Newcomb’s Makers of the Mold, and is mentioned (but not named) in a chapter of Newcomb’s Walking Tour of Hemlock Gorge.
