Stone was an early advocate of the International Style. His first independent commission was the Richard H. Mandel House, in Mount Kisco, New York (1933).[3] This was followed by the Ulrich Kowalski house, also in Mt. Kisco (1934),[4] and the Albert C. Koch house in Cambridge, Massachusetts (1936).Шаблон:Refn[5] In 1936, Stone was chosen as associate architect for the new Museum of Modern Art in New York City, designed in collaboration with Philip L. Goodwin.[6] Stone also designed a private residence for MoMA president Anson Conger Goodyear, the A. Conger Goodyear House, in Old Westbury, NY (1938).[7] Both the Richard H. Mandel House and A. Conger Goodyear House are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[8]

At the outset of World War II, Stone enlisted in the U.S. Army. He was promoted to the rank of major and served as chief of the Army Air Force Planning and Design Section.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Page needed Returning to New York after the war, Stone was commissioned to design the ten-story El Panama Hotel in Panama City, Panama (1946),[9] the University of Arkansas Fine Arts Center in Fayetteville (1948),[10] and the 850-bed Hospital del Seguro Social del Empleado in Lima, Peru (1950).Шаблон:Refn[11]

Stone's best-known work was the Embassy of the United States in New Delhi, India (1959).[12] Tasked with creating a modern building that respected the architectural heritage of its host country, he designed a temple-like pavilion on a raised podium.[13] Frank Lloyd Wright called the embassy one of the most beautiful buildings he had ever seen,[14] and it won a first honor award from the American Institute of Architects (AIA).Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Page needed Subsequent commissions such as the Stanford University Medical Center in Palo Alto, California (1955),[15] the Stuart Pharmaceutical Company in Pasadena, California (1956),[16] and the United States pavilion at the 1958 Brussels World's Fair (1957),[17] repeated elements originally designed for the embassy.[18] The Stuart building and World's Fair pavilion both won awards from the AIA,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Page needed and Stone was elected to the Institute's College of Fellows in 1958.[19]

Described as romanticist,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Page needed Stone's ornate designsШаблон:Dubious brought him commercial success.[12] By the 1960s, his firm was among the largest architectural practices in the United States, with over 200 employees and offices on both coasts.[20] Buildings from this period include the North Carolina State Legislative Building in Raleigh (1960),[21] the Pakistan Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology in Nilore (1961),[22] the National Geographic Society building in Washington, D.C.

Stone also was the architect of the former Windham College in Putney, Vermont. Windham closed in 1978 and its abandoned campus was taken over by the present-day Landmark College in 1985.

Furthermore, Stone also designed Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, California. Harvey Mudd College is a highly ranked private liberal arts college, and according to Travel and Leisure Magazine in 2013, is one of "America's ugliest college campuses".
