Home is always here.

The Historic Stone Home is carefully maintained, in keeping with the charm of its rehabilitations and restorations by the Stone Family. It is a majestic place that transcends time — adorned by beautiful mature trees and a tidal creek. The home was built in 1893, three years after the founding of its neighbor Georgia State Industrial College, now Savannah State University. In 1933, Percy Stone purchased this homestead, rooting his family and expanding his innovative legacy in agriculture. Harriet and Percy were faculty members of Savannah State University and advocates of greater institutional and educational advancement. The property is located on land that was once the Placentia Plantation, a rice plantation worked by the Stone’s enslaved ancestors. Today, the home is nominated to become registered on the list of National Historic Places for the contributions of Percy H. Stone, Harriet P. Stone, Monroe N. Work, Alma S. Williams, and the Stone Family.
