Marker Text: ​When the State Capitol burned in 1881 Scottish-born James Baird Smith (1843-1907) cleared the site and erected a temporary statehouse nearby. Salvaged brick and stone, which he used to build this rent house about 1886, probably came from burned Capitol. The first tenant was noted banker John G. Palm (1846-1927). Later owner (1924) and occupant (1925-43) Lucille Clark of a prominent Austin family, sold the property in 1959 to Mr. and Mrs. Homer D. Smith, who restored it. (1975)
