The Stone House The Stone House, the Casco Bay waterfront estate where Stonecoast's semiannual residencies take place, is the soul of the Stonecoast MFA program. Stonecoast students and faculty alike come to feel a special bond with this unique and inspiring setting. Located in Wolfe Neck State Park, the Stone House was designed by John Calvin Stevens and donated to the University by Mrs. Eleanor Houston Smith. The house is distinguished by multiple porches and fireplaces and beautiful stained glass, wood and tile work. Each room has a water view, and the extensive grounds include rocky pathways to harbor vistas, nationally renowned heather gardens, and historically organic farmland.
The unique setting of Stonecoast's residencies is an inspiration in itself. In the words of fiction writer and recent graduate Ben Luce, “The name 'Stone House' and the image of a stone house conjure up the power of place. I'm always inspired here. It's a home. Years from now we'll all be saying that our 'becoming' as writers happened here.” |
