History
Established in 1925.
Also known as the Community House, construction on the building began in 1925. It was financed by Henry Lockwood in memory of his wife Helen M. Davenport Lockwood. Mr. Lockwood died before the building was completed, so his son, Judge Charles Davenport Lockwood, completed the building in memory of both parents. The building was a gift to the North Stamford Congregational Church and it stands on the site of the North Stamford one-room schoolhouse that was moved to the rear of the church, and now serves as the church's Guild House.

Owned and managed by the North Stamford Congregational Church (NSCC), the Stone House is a building with a lot of history and character. If its walls could talk you'd hear wonderful stories of family celebrations and community fun, some that are almost a century old. From the time it was built in 1925 the building has hosted many types of social gatherings.
The North Stamford Congregational Church dates back to pre-Revolutionary times, when families gathered in farmhouses for religious meetings as early as December 1742. Legally established through approval of the Connecticut State Legislature in 1781, the church gathered as an independent society on June 4, 1782. Twenty-two founding members, representing 10 families, signed a lengthy covenant, which created the church. Like other Colonial churches, the society exercised civil and religious authority for many years.
