Captain Hardy Smith House

The Captain Hardy Smith House is located in Dublin, Georgia. It is the oldest home in Dublin on its original location. Built in 1873 it is located at 307 West Gaines Street in Downtown Dublin.

The restoration of the home included searching for mature pine suitable for cutting the large barge boards with no knots. The ones used came from the Altamaha Swamp around Hindsville, Georgia.

Power gets turned on

.
Georgia Power came out yesterday 11/19/09 and brought out the heavy equipment to get the house hooked up with power.
.

They dug a line from the nearest pole to the house.



Here they are hooking up the line.



The result is after probably 40 or 50 years the house now has power in every room. At night the charm of an Old South home is now a reality!
