Gertrude Smith House

Gertrude Smith House

The Gertrude Smith House was built in 1903 by her father. Gertrude loved historic preservation, and her passion for preservation led her to form the Gilmer-Smith Foundation to oversee perpetual care of the home as a living museum after her death in 1981.

Furnishings, accessories, and artwork are displayed as they were when the Smiths lived there.
