Sanford Stone (1828-1888) came to Richmond in 1843 and in 1875 platted "Sanford M. Stone's Addition to the village of Richmond," including Jefferson and Washington Streets between Ferguson and Beebe. He held many public offices, including state representative, village president, and county coroner. On this site in 1878, he built an Eastlake style house with ornate chimneys and decorative trim in the gables, making it one of Richmond's most ornate buildings. Mabelle Streibig Weller purchased the former Sanford Stone House in 1920, and the house, built in 1878 in the Victorian era Eastlake Style, was reconstructed for Weller and her husband, Harold, to reflect the more modern Colonial Revival style. The Wellers named the house Roseburn Place for Mabelle's late mother, Rose Burns. In 1993, Weller descendants sold the house to a Richmond businessman, and restored during the 1990s, the house remains a Richmond landmark.
