Biographical Note

The Walker-Stone House Proposals consist of two proposals and supporting documents to Fayetteville Restoration, Inc. to acquire and restore the Walker-Stone House and property for adaptive use as law offices. The proposals were made in 1978 by the firms of Wade, McAllister, Wade & Burke and Kincaid, Horne & Trumbo. Built by Judge David Walker in the 1840s, the Walker-Stone House is one of the oldest houses in Fayetteville. It was later purchased by Stephen D. Stone and served as the family home of the internationally renowned architect Edward Durell Stone. Stone donated the property to the State of Arkansas in 1971 with plans that it would be restored and serve as a guest house for distinguished visitors to the University of Arkansas. However, the state was unable to meet the financial responsibilities of restoration and the property was deeded to Fayetteville Restoration, Inc. The proposal offered by the firm of Kincaid, Horne & Trumbo was accepted in 1978. The Walker-Stone House is on the National Register of Historic Places.
