Teams were changed and passengers fed and housed there, and General Grant visited several times. After years of abandonment it was restored through community effort and benefactions and continues in public use.","narrative":"Built in 1851 as a stagecoach station, this three-floor block limestone building at 110 West Main Street in Warren, Illinois, sits behind a white picket fence with white painted wood trim. Two stagecoach routes crossed here: the Chicago-Galena Road, served by the Frink & Walker stages, and the Sucker Trail between St. Louis and the lead smelters near Wiota, Wisconsin. Horses were changed at a livery stable across the street while passengers were fed and housed. General Grant visited several times on trips to and from Galena. The building later served as the office and hospital of an early town physician, then stood abandoned for many years. Local women worked for years to save it, aided by two large gifts from former residents, and it was restored. The exterior is unchanged. Inside, the east wing became a ballroom, and the upper floors hold a caretaker's apartment, council rooms and scout meeting space. It remains a village-owned community building.","period_of_significance":"1851 - present","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Early Georgian (form text); data sheet notes Federal / Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Excellent condition, unaltered exterior, original site; restored and in use as a community building with a caretaker's apartment, town council rooms and scouting space.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:35.608583-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/82/8930/28893082/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_IL/75000665.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/75000665/75d2ea1ce4-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/75000665/75d2ea1ce4-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"IvoShandor","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Warren_IL_Old_Stone_Hotel1.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">IvoShandor</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Warren_IL_Old_Stone_Hotel1.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/28893082","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Stone_Hotel","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7085116"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/illinois/jo-daviess-county/old-stone-hotel-75000665/"}
