Sophia Rollins House, Farm Route F vicinity, Smithville, Clay County, MO
Summary
Significance: One of the few remaining mid-19th century brick structures in the Smithville vicinity. Patented in 1836, the property was owned by Sophia Rollins and her family for the next 45 years. Although it cannot be determined just when in that span this house was built, the style and form indicate a mid-century date. The quality of its brick construction and interior woodwork, including a graceful winding staircase, makes this house a model of craftsmanship for its time and location.
