(2006) William Smith House
 
This is southernmost of the three Smithville Plantation houses on the Averasboro Battlefield; occupied during the battle by William Smith's widow, Mary Campbell Smith, and her four daughters as General Sherman's  Union army used the house as their field hospital and buried their dead in the garden. The family piano was in use as their operating table. The initial skirmish on the battlefield occurred within the surrounding area. The building, an upscale Federal period house with second floor Greek Revival addition and fourteen rooms, is to be restored for museum use
