In 1982 Champlain Stone Ltd. began with Michael Morey, son of Ken and Lorraine (Perry) Morey, extracting stone by hand and hauling it to the marketplace.  His brother Mark financed him with a loan of $5 a day, a truck and some tools.  By 1995 he had five quarries, and had moved his corporate office to Warrensburg.  In 1998 the former Mundy home on Elm Street became the home of Champlain Stone, Ltd.  A two-story show-room was added to the building.  Champlain Stone, Ltd. now employs more than 100 people and supplies stone products to dealers in the United States, Canada and Europe.  In 2005 Morey added a larger-than-life bronze statue depicting a quarryman in front of the building.While not full blow Queen Anne style none the less it exhibits important features of the style including general massing, asymmetrical façade and especially the roof configuration.

The building has been significantly altered from the original design with the alteration of the garret into office space necessitating modern gable windows, all other windows have been replaced as well, copper roof sheathing has replaced slate and the front entry porch is a late nineteenth century addition.
