4. The origin of the name Stone Avenue is from:
A. Col. John Finkle Stone, an early pioneer and Civil War veteran who built the first house on what became Stone Avenue. The home, which was built in the early 1860s, was located on the southwest corner of present-day McCormick Street and Stone Avenue, where the parking lot for the police station is now located.
B. The street was originally known as Avenida Zarzuela, due to the theatrical performances that were held in the area by traveling performers from Mexico. By 1862, the street had been renamed Avenida Piedra for unknown reasons. As English became more common, the translation Stone Avenue began to be used.
C. S.W. Foreman named this street in 1872, while doing the survey of the Tucson townsite because a large stone was found there.
