The Colonial Church
The historic white church is the focal point of the property. Built in 1874 and still in use today, it is admired for its simple beauty and colonial architecture. It sits on top of a grassy hill with a driveway in front curving up from the rural road, offering an elegant entrance to the property. It is used frequently for weddings. See photo 1.
The Guild House
The Margaret D. Givens Guild House was originally the one-room North Stamford School. This building was received from the town of Stamford in 1913 and moved to where the Stone House now stands to its present site behind the church. It was dedicated in 1952 and today provides church offices and a meeting room. See photo 2.
