The Italianate style C. Sydney and Emily Smith House in Thomaston, Maine was built in 1877.
The style arrived in the U.S. before the Civil War and took off after the war, with examples of the style appearing in all parts of the United States. Queen Victoria’s use of the style for her country villa, Osborne House, on the Isle of Wight popularized the style in the U.K and U.S.
The Smith House is one of the 13 Featured Houses presented between the how-to chapters of “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners.”
Historic and “before” restoration images are included with new photos by architectural photographer Dave Clough.
