He established the firm Stone and Burt with Septimus Burt and in addition held prestigious positions within the state parliament including Chief Justice and Attorney General. Stone was well liked and active in the community taking a great interest in a variety of sports. He retired to the Kalamunda home but died at his Perth residence 'Rose Hill' on Adelaide Terrace in 1920. The house has remained a family residence since then with several other owners. The garden is well established with several large exotic trees planted in the early 20th century.
