Encyclopedia : S : SL : SLO : Sloan-Parker House


The Sloan-Parker House or Stone House, constructed in 1790 of locally quarried fieldstone for Richard Sloan, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. Located on the Northwestern Turnpike (US 50) near Junction west of Romney it has served as a stage coach stop as well as a private residence. The Stone House has been owned by two families: the Sloan family until 1854 when it was sold to the Parker brothers: John, Peyton, Benjamin, and William. Current owners are third generation Parkers: Mr. John Henry Parker, Jr. and family.
