| History Note: | The first stage of the house dates back to 1860 and was a two-story brick dwelling, built for then mayor Jonathan M. Bassett, designed by local architect W. Angelo Powell. In the 1880s John Townsend, a prominent merchant, added a substantial two-story wing to the facade obscurring the original entry. In 1889, he added the polygonal entry and probably added the wraparound porch. In 1907, Lewis Smith, President of a drug wholesale company, C.D. Smith and Company, added a third story to the Townsend facade addition. In 1907, Smith built the carriage house behind the house. - |
