Visit the showplace home of a Victorian era "Virginian of Virginians" (R. S. Thomas) – as restored by Ms. Sala Clark.
This 1889 "urban" Queen Ann style mansion changed the landscape of Smithfield from colonial and cottage. 100 years later it was the first in Smithfield’s Historic District to return to its “Painted Lady” glory days. The interior retains original plaster moldings and mantles, carved wood fixtures, and heart pine flooring.
