Property Features
An altered style Queen Anne home with colonial revival features. The house was extensively enlarged by the Smiths, engulfing Waters' original design. Marked by unusually continuous interior space.
Henry Smith was the son of pioneer industrialist Elisha D. Smith of Menasha. Taking a minor role in the family's Menasha wooden ware company, he indulged his family as few other local industrialists ever did. The home (and its size) is an outstanding example of the extravagant lifestyle maintained in Neenah.
The house was previously surveyed in 1981 with a map code of 6/21 on city engineers base map(also surveyed in 2001). The 2004 map code is 156/11a.
This house is also included in the East Forest Avenue Historic District, listed in 2005.
