The Old Stone House Kids' Pages A story... For more than two years when Rev. Alexander Twilight wasn't preaching or teaching, he worked building the Old Stone House as a place to live for his students. Some of the granite stones weighed nearly a ton and he had to haul them over bad roads and then raise them one on top of another until the building was four stories high. People say that he did it mostly by himself, and that his main helper was an ox. They also say that when the building was finished, the ox was on a ramp or platform near the top and couldn't or wouldn't come back down. Not knowing what else to do, Twilight slaughtered the ox, roasted him and held a great ox feast to celebrate the new building.
