The Greek revival house at 33 Main Street in Stonington Borough was built in 1846-1848 by Charles Phelps Williams, a prominent shipowner and businessman. The house replaced an earlier one, built shortly after 1768 by Ebenezer Cobb. Williams sold the house, in the year after it was completed, to Gurdon Pendleton, who then sold it to his brother Harris Pendleton, Jr. It was owned by printer Nathan G. Smith and his descendants from 1861 to 1924.
