Arthur H. Smith (born 1869) was an English-American architect who practiced in the small city of Rutland, Vermont.
Smith was born in 1869 in London, and attended the University of Edinburgh. He immigrated to the United States in 1889, [1] settling in Rutland in about 1892. He joined the office of Chappell & Burke, [2] a civil engineering firm who wanted to expand to include architectural services, which Smith would provide. In 1895 John W. Burke left the firm, and Thomas F. Chappell and Smith formed a new partnership, Chappell & Smith. This firm was dissolved in about 1897.
Smith would go on to be the region's most prominent architect, practicing well into the 20th century. [1]
Two buildings designed by Smith have been individually placed on the National Register of Historic Places, and several more of his designs contribute to listed historic districts. Linden Terrace, designed by him in 1912, is one of his greatest architectural accomplishments. [1]
