This is one of the oldest homes in Lakeland and was originally used as a boarding house. The columns were added a few years after the house was built.

My name is Dennis Jacobs and I recently purchased this home. I’m currently bringing it back to life and would love to know more about it!!
I believe my grandfather Judge Ben Smith Jr. was born in that house in 1923.
Thanks, John. I will identify it as the Smith House, if that is okay. I knew the history was out there somewhere.
