History

The house was built in the early 1850s for William M. Hackney, a horse saddler.[2] It was purchased by Dr. Benjamin Frankly Smith in 1855.[2] By 1860, he owned eight slaves.[2] During the American Civil War of 1861–1865, his son William T. Smith served in the Confederate States Army.[2] Meanwhile, Benjamin died at the end of the war, in 1865.[2] The house was subsequently inherited by his descendants until 1938.[2]

The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since August 23, 2006.[3]
