It has a two-story Doric portico, a temple-front gable return and Greek Revival entrances and mantels. Its central-hall plan with a wide rear stair hall is unusual and matches that of the neighboring Willis-DuBose-Barnett House.","narrative":"Set on 21 acres of pasture on the south side of Washington, Georgia, this two-story frame house was built about 1854 for Robert Shand Smith, a Charleston-born gentleman farmer who received the land from neighbor James DuBose. The house follows the Greek Revival style, with a two-story portico on Doric posts, a pediment, and a gable return on the north end that suggests a Greek temple front. Entrances have sidelights, transoms and heavy molded entablatures, and many original floors, plaster walls, doors and mantels survive. Its plan is unusual: two large parlors flank a center hall, and a wider stair hall runs across the back. DuBose's neighboring house has a similar arrangement. Additions were made in the 1870s or 1880s, in 1900, about 1940 and in the late 1960s. The house was recognized as an outstanding Greek Revival example in a county known for antebellum architecture, and it remains a private residence. Its period of significance ends with the kitchen addition of about 1940.","period_of_significance":"c.1854 - c.1940","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century: Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling; the property includes open pasture, the main house, one historic shed and two noncontributing sheds.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:43.002504-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/02001294.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02001294/47dec4a6eb-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02001294/47dec4a6eb-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Jud McCranie","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Robert_Smith_house,_Wilkes_County,_GA,_US.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Jud McCranie</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Robert_Smith_house,_Wilkes_County,_GA,_US.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93209975","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134466964"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/wilkes-county/smith-robert-shand-house-02001294/"}
