The Governor John Walter Smith House is a historic home located at Snow Hill, Worcester County, Maryland. It is an unusually large and elaborate example of the Queen Anne Style of domestic architecture. It was built in 1889-90 for local landowner John Walter Smith, who was later a United States Representative, Governor of Maryland and United States Senator. The house retains its interior millwork and unusual Art Nouveau stained glass windows.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
Famous quotes containing the words governor, smith and/or house:
“Ah, Governor [Murphy, of New Jersey], don’t try to deceive me as to the sentiment of the dear people. I have been hearing from the West and the East, and the South seems to be the only section which approves of me at all, and that comes from merely a generous impulse, for even that section would deny me its votes.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“How awful to reflect that what people say of us is true!”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
“It is getting dark and time he drew to a house,
But the blizzard blinds him to any house ahead.
The storm gets down his neck in any icy souse
That sucks his breath like a wicked cat in bed.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
