Joseph Hodgson probably built the Stone House at what is now 2900 South Estes Street in the Bear Creek Green Belt sometime between 1859 and 1864. A letter from Joseph's brother, William, filed with the Colorado Territorial Land Office, stated that Joseph settled on the land in 1859, "since which time he has erected thereon a stone house 28x28 feet, one story high, shingle roof, plank floor, 10 doors, and 13 windows, and is a comfortable house to live in."

The architecture is Vernacular Folk House. The walls are covered with stones from Bear Creek, meticulously chosen for their color and shape. The house had a number of owners until it was sold to the City of Lakewood in 1973. When the City acquired the property, the house was in very poor condition.

It was restored, from 1975 to 1976, and is now used for special events. The Stone House has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places, due to its "uniquely appealing scale and character." Yale and South Estes Street.

"This c. 1860 stone farmhouse near Bear Creek was built by Joseph Hodgson. Built of stones from Bear Creek, it features oversized windows and door frames of rough dressed sand stone quarried from the nearby hogback. Original holder of the land deed was Filormero Mondragon, who enlisted in New Mexico Territory's volunteer forces in 1848 to fight in the Navajo wars. The 1/2 story side gabled house with a shed extension features sandstone quoins at its corners. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 1, 1975 (5JF.186)."
