National Register of Historic Places - Whiteford G. Smith House
Statement of Significance: The Whiteford G. Smith House meets National Register Criterion C and is locally significant in the area of architecture. Built in 1894 by druggist Whiteford G. Smith, the house is a well-preserved modest example of the Queen Anne style in Asheville. It is one of only a small number of Queen Anne-style houses in the city that retain late nineteenth-century features such as an elaborate porch with turned and bracketed posts and pedimented entries, beaded weatherboards, and bracketed cornice. On the interior, notable details include wainscot with alternating flat and convex boards, Eastlake-influenced mantels with tile surrounds, door and window surrounds with corner blocks, and five-panel doors with original hardware.
