This is the home of Harry V. Smith as pictured in September of 1921. Mr. Smith and wife Mabel resided at 1909 North Oakes St. The 1922 City Directory lists Mr. Smith as being in the real estate business with an office in the Provident Building downtown. About 1918, Mr. Smith purchased a tract of land on North Oakes which ran through to North Fife St. One end of the property was a point extending into a gulch where he built his home with detached garage. The ground sloped abruptly on three sides to the bottom of the gulch. Several years later Mr. Smith would perform extensive landscaping to the property which turned the slope into 2000 feet of pathways. By 1929, a rustic bridge and miniature 9-hole golf course had been added. (TDL 8-25-29, D8-article)
