Historic Rhode Island Buildings ~ The Smith House ~ North Scituate

I'm participating in the #100DayProject, in which members choose a creative theme and post their creations 100 days in a row.

I make no claim to creativity of my own, but I know how to point a camera, and I've done it a lot. A lot. So my goal for this 100 days is to make a daily post in Instagram of a historic building in Rhode Island, along with some background information.  Time allowing, I have a secondary goal of posting those buildings more in-depth here at I {heart} Rhody.

Day 1 is The William C. Smith House.

The RI Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission (RIHPHC) state surveys of historic properties for Scituate describes the house thusly:

"A 2½-story, Greek Revival structure, with two, small, brick, interior chimneys; a central entry in a 5-bay facade; a large, 2-story porch at the northwest corner; and a 2½-story wing at the rear. The house occupies a small lot at the intersection with West Greenville Road."

I couldn't find anything about the owner. There are a lot of William Smiths in the historical record. It appears that it's called the William Smith House, because he's the one who owned it the first time it appeared on a map or census of some kind.

Today, the building has been converted to condos.

These photos of the interior are by Samson Realty, by way of Zillow, where you can see the pretty robin's egg blue washed floors, wooden shutters, built-ins, and hardwoods. It's obviously been altered, but it looks like they've taken care of the property.
