BISHOP SMYTH RESIDENCE
BISHOP SMYTH RESIDENCE. Constructed between April and November, 1863 next door to ST. RAPHAEL'S CATHEDRAL at a cost of $9,000, the home was designed and built by John Keenan. Made of brick, the home was three stories high and measured fifty feet wide and forty-five feet deep.
The cut stone work was done by Doner and Schulte. Plastering and painting were products of John Tierney and P. T. Walsh, respectively. Joseph Ryder did the stone work and smith work was completed by B. D. Lenehan. Iron work was furnished by Wood and Perot, with the fence alone costing over $1,000.
