Smith/Hart House - 48
6 Cleveland Ave.
Immediately behind the Baptist Church on Cleveland Avenue is the Smith/Hart/Runge house, a pivotal house. Built circa 1815 by Judge William Smith, who served in the U.S. House and Senate, this home was sold to Robert McCaw in 1852. Major James Hart, a Confederate war hero and senator, bought the house in 1870. After an 1881 fire, the home was rebuilt in Victorian style. Other changes include a front porch and removal of the third floor of the tower.
