This house was built for Watson P. Jordan about
1830 on the site of a much older home. It was the home of
J.P. Andrews from 1876 to 1922, and later the home of Dr. Rae
Parker who practiced medicine in Smithfield from 1922 until his
death in 1948. After sitting vacant for over 30 years and falling
into great disrepair, the house was restored by Mr. Jeff Stark.
