Built around 1850, the former house at 9 Maple Street in Kent is now used as offices. An example of a gable-fronted Greek Revival-style residence, in 1870 (according to the census) it was the home of Moses Smith, his wife Elvira and daughter Josie (he is also shown as the owner in the 1874 map of Kent). Smith, a wealthy businessman, was a partner in the commercial establishment of Smith & Page, which was located on North Main Street across from the railroad depot.
