Description[edit]

The house was built in 1889 for Ephraim H. Nye, and it was designed in the Second Empire, Exotic Revival and Romanesque Revival styles by architect S. T. Whitaker.[2] It later belonged to Dennis A. Smyth, an immigrant from Ireland who became a prominent businessman and invited William Howard Taft, the 27th President of the United States, to the house.[2] From 1948 to 1967, the house was a Roman Catholic convent, and it later became a private residence again.[2] It was listed on the NRHP on February 11, 1982.[1]
