The original owner of this house was W.W. Garnett who owned and operated a grocery store down on Bank Street. The house dates to 1887 - the original grocery store no longer exists. Another Smith family purchased the house in the 1920's. They did not change the original footprint of the house but they did enclosed two side porches to create two new bedrooms and two new bathrooms sometime mid-20th century. Sisters who inherited the house rented out the rooms. They also moved the front door to Vine Street.

In 1993 Julian and Ann Price bought the house from the last of the Smith family. It had been in the Smith family for nearly 75 years. The Prices renovated extensively, including replacing plumbing and electrical throughout, a new roof, the enclosure of a "working porch" off the kitchen and several other cosmetic renovations, but the original footprint was not changed.

The Dennis Smiths bought the house in 2006. The moment Betsy walked in the front door, she knew it was home. The current Smiths feel very grateful to be only one of four families to have the pleasure to call this house home. And thanks to the Prices and the great renovation, they've hardly changed a thing.
