Roberts-Morton House, also known as the Old Stone House, is a historic home located in Ohio Township, Warrick County, Indiana. Just east of the town of Newburgh. It was built in 1833–1834, and is a two-story, rectangular, Federal style cut stone dwelling. It has a low gable roof and exterior end chimneys. The front facade features a two-story, Greek Revival style projecting portico.[2]: 2

The house is currently a private residence. The homeowner wanted to try to keep the tile in the original design when he updated it. From a guy that did the tile in the house.
