Rev. David Smith became the Congregational minister in Durham in 1799 and in 1803, he built a house on Maple Avenue, just north of the town green. He retired in 1833, after a sometimes difficult pastorate. In 1843, he leased his house and land to his two daughters and the fine Federal-style home has since been passed down through Rev. Smith’s descendants.
