1910 年 6 月 7 日，华盛顿州高级法院法官博伊德 J. 托曼维持法律裁决，即塞缪尔•斯通和他的妻子苏西•斯通这对富有的黑人夫妇，可以在排外的芒特贝克公园区 (Mount Baker Park District) 购买房产。园区开发商亨特地产开发公司 (Hunter Tract Improvement Company) 起诉斯通夫妇和此地产原所有者，要求撤销购买合同。开发商声称，因为斯通夫妇的肤色问题，会降低此地产及周边地产的价值。在原诉讼案和此上诉中获胜后，斯 通夫妇在第 34 南大街 (Avenue S) 3125 号建造自己的家园，但此诉讼案件表明了反抗制度性歧视（包括限制性条款）的需求日益增长。
