The Stone Building, built in 1833. is an historic Greek Revival style building located at 735 Massachusetts Avenue in Lexington, Massachusetts. It was originally a meeting hall for East Lexington, which had its own civic identity and its own church, the neighboring Follen Community Church. Notable speakers at the hall included Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Charles Sumner, Wendell Phillips, Theodore Parker, and Josiah Quincy, Jr. The building was given to the town in 1891, by Ellen Stone, granddaughter of Eli Robbins, who built it, and it was named for her. The East Lexington branch library which had been established in 1883, has occupied it ever since. [ [http://www.carylibrary.org/eastbranch/history.html East Branch of Cary Memorial Library] ]

Current status

In August, 2007, the building suffered damage from burst pipes, and was closed for repairs. [ [http://www.wickedlocal.com/lexington/archive/x875775167 Lexington Minuteman article accessed May 7, 2008] ]
