First time offering since its construction in 1898. Welcome to the Cofer house of Smithfield. Built for John I. Cofer, Sr. and his wife Mary on the back portion of the original Lot 9 Old Smithfield. John was at the Smithfield bank shortly after it was founded until his death in 1941. The charming Victorian was left to their daughter Segar Jordan Cofer, born in 1901. Known as "Sig", she wed prominent farmer, Harry G. Dashiell in 1923. Segar Cofer Dashiel was a well known local historian and writer who authored the book "Smithfield - A Pictorial History". This timeless Victorian has beautiful trim, wood floors, corner fireplaces and all the character you would expect in a historic home. A kitchen and additional living area was added on in 1966. This quaint home has been on the Christmas tour and sits on the Smithfield parade route. Looking for a new caretaker to enjoy it's deep front porch for the next hundred years.
