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.

My Office


. My office a few days after the purchase of the house. Note the old wallpaper. All the rest was torn down shortly after the purchase due to water damage and age.


I had the floor done shortly after purchase. You can see the condition of the walls and the fireplace.


To get the room complete I took a natural stain to all the walls and ceiling to bring out the natural beauty of the wood.


After staining the walls and ceiling I restored the fireplace.



Some shots of the walls in my office now.





This picture shows a section of the original wallpaper that once covered the walls of my office. This wall paper was discovered when the electricians pulled the bottom boards off. I took the nicest pieces and constructed a section to show the pattern. My office was once the dining room.
