History

The house was built circa 1815–1825,[2] and was redesigned many times.[2] It was the home of James Hyfel Smith (1788-1845) his wife Lucy Greer (1793-1872), and their eleven children.[2] Smith ran a store in Pasquo.[2] After he opened another store in Brush Creek, Tennessee, the house was lived in by his son George Washington Smith and his ten children.[2] Later, another son, Walter Sparel Smith, lived in the house with his nine children.[2] It was then inherited by his son, Charles Benjamin Smith, who lived there with his five sons, and finally by his grandson, Charles Randall Mungovan.[2] Meanwhile, the Smith family continued to run stores in Pasquo and Bush Creek, as well as Una, Tennessee.[2]
