Although the structure known in these days
DR.. Smiths home has the appearance of
being one large building, 1t comprises what was
originally three distinct houses. with quaint
spring houses and outbuildngs, the Philadelphia

family were deposited Immediately the brow
of the hill. The old "octagon building" which
created much comment when first built because
of its unusual construction, called Smiths
Folly In the early days, but its many-wndowed
recesses were the special delight of the cele-
brated university provost.
