 Scituate sculptor Armand LaMontagne hand built a large 17th-century style stone-ender off of Route 6 in Scituate, Rhode Island in the 1970s.Stone ender houses were usually timber-framed, one and one-half or two stories in height, with one room on each floor.One end of the house contained a massive stone chimney which usually filled the entire end wall, thus giving the dwelling the name of “stone ender.” Robert O. Jones noted that the windows were very small “casements filled with oiled paper” and that “the stairs to the upper chambers were steep, ladder-like structures usually squeezed in between the chimney and the front entrance.” He points out that a few houses may have had leaded glass windows, but that was very rare.
