Scope and Content

Constructed ca. 1875-79; altered ca. 1905. (138 Broad Street rehabilitated mid-1980s). On the site of what is today 136 Broad Street and 138 Broad Street, was a large antebellum house on the double lot that burned in the fire of 1861. In the mid-1870s William B. Smith subdivided the property into two lots, apparently building an elaborate side-hall, double-parlored dwelling on the eastern half, while a purchaser of 138 Broad Street constructed a 2½ story side-hall,double-parlor-plan house with a Second Empire mansard roof and double-tiered front piazzas. Henry and Sarah I'On Lowndes purchased 136 Broad Street in 1881 and eventually sold it to A.T. Litschgi, who added various Georgian Revival detains with the help of the architect-contractor Henry T. Zacharias. These include the door architrave with engaged Corinthian columns and semicircular transom and the pedimented screen on the piazza. File contains Application to the Zoning Board of Adjustment (Feb. 7, 1984) and transcript of hearing (request to subdivide property) (includes plat showing subdivision).
