Hutcheson-Smith House

312 N. Oak St., Arlington, TX

The Hutcheson-Smith House may be the only surviving example of Queen Anne and Eastlake architecture left in Arlington. This home is in very good condition and still retains almost all its original gingerbread trim. The Hutcheson family was a prominent family in the early history of Arlington, and was among the original founders of the Original Town of Arlington. I.L. Hutcheson was a founding member and officer of the Masonic Lodge and owned a general store in Johnson Station. The Smith family lived in the home longer than the Hutchesons and are known for their educational interests.
