Life and career
Life and career
Smith was born in 1869 in London, and attended the University of Edinburgh. He immigrated to the United States in 1889, settling in Rutland in about 1892. He joined the office of Chappell & Burke, 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.
