Holland-Smith House

The front section of this house, a one-story hall-parlor house type with Classical detailing, was probably constructed by John and Mary Holland c.1872. John was born in 1836 in England, and Mary, born in 1844, died in 1874. John then married Julia Woods in 1884. They lived here until 1886.

The rear, one-and-one-half story Victorian Eclectic style portion of the house was probably built by Charles L. and Pamela Thompson Smith c.1890. Charles was born in Centerville in 1862. He and Pamela raised six children in this house. Both were active LDS church members-Charles as a member of the South Davis Stake High Council and Pamela in the Relief Society and as president of the Primary Association.

In 1908 the house was sold to Benjamin Brown. Born in Nauvoo, Illinois, in 1845, he married Jane Goheen in 1865, and they had nine children. In 1899 he married Ellen Rigby with whom he had seven children.

The addition to the south of the historic house was built by Dan and Amber Stephens c.1987 and incorporates many of the same stylistic features.
