William Smith (1829)
William L. Smith, a grandson of Capt. Joseph Lockwood, built this home about 1829, when his mother, Prudence Lockwood Smith, sold him an acre and a half of land. He married Clarissa, one of the ten Thatcher children, and was Town Supervisor from 1854-55. According to a 1936 interview with former Town Supervisor George I. Ruscoe, Smith was the first Pound Ridge citizen to embrace Temperance with enthusiasm. Hiram Halle purchased the property in 1934 and removed the Victorian embellishments.
