The George and Mary Pine Smith House is a private house located at 3704 Sheldon Road, near Sheldon in Canton Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1]
History
The land this house sits on was first farmed by William Smith of England, who purchased Шаблон:Convert of land in 1830.[2] In 1835, Smith purchased another Шаблон:Convert to the east. At some point, William built a log cabin on the property.[3] William Smith and his wife Mary Collins Smith raised seven children on this farm, establishing a long line of Smiths farming in Canton Township.[2]
One of William and Mary Collins Smith's children was George Smith Sr.[4] His son George Jr. (William's grandson) married Mary Pine. In 1904, George Jr. and Mary Smith spent $2,058.76 to build the house that now sits on the property, replacing the log cabin.[2][3] Although the present acreage is small, outbuildings on the property give the feel of the old farmstead and the wooded edges isolate the house from the surrounding modern developments.[2]
Description
The George and Mary Pine Smith House is a two-story gabled ell building with an additional ell at the rear.[2] The brick house sits on a two-foot-thick fieldstone foundation laid in courses across the facade.[2] Many of the bricks in the walls were handmade at the building site.[2] Two doors in the front facade are covered by a small porch with decorative millwork. The front facade includes a bay window, and two of the other front windows have a transom sash, one with stained glass in the transom area and the other with beveled glass.[2] Three more large transomed windows are in other elevations, and the remainder of the house's windows are narrow one over ones. The windows are topped with a segmental arch formed of corbelled bricks.[2]
