Located in the Highland County town of Monterey, the Lucius and Mary Stephenson House is a large and elaborately detailed Queen Anne-style residence dating to the last two decades of the 19th century. The two-story frame house was originally built ca. 1883 for Lucius H. Stephenson and his wife, Mary L. C. Stephenson; Lucius was esteemed as the county’s leading businessman at the time of his death in 1911. The Stephenson House is accompanied by a complement of historic outbuildings on a spacious site overlooking downtown Monterey, a block or two from the Highland County courthouse. Some of the outbuildings may date to the ownership of Lucius and Mary’s son, Boyd Stephenson, whose wife Harriet Stephenson operated the Maple Hill Tourist Home in the house during the 1930s and 1940s.
