Completed in 1938, the Roy and Sylvia Stone House in Spokane’s historic Rockwood neighborhood is a fine example of Regency Revival style, categorized by its low pitched hipped roof, symmetrical stucco facade, and boxy exterior. The house was custom built for Roy Stone, a well-known food store owner and operator who built and operated “chains” of food and drug stores in California, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, including MacMarr markets which later became Safeway Food Stores. The Stone House was designed by celebrated Spokane architect, Gustav Albin Pehrson, who was responsible for hundreds of homes, buildings, and churches throughout the Spokane region. As it neared completion in 1938, the Stone House was featured in the Spokesman-Review with a photograph and description that praised the property as “one of the season’s finest homes under construction” with a construction price of $25,000—more that five times the $4,000 required by subdivision covenants created by the developer of the Rockwood
neighborhood.

The Stone House is a contributing property in the Rockwood Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places 4/14/1997.
