Built in 1878, this home is one of the best preserved vernacular residences in Provo. Hannah Maria Libby Smith was the wife of George A. Smith, an apostle of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Their son, Charles Warren Smith, built the home during a three-year period. Hannah lived there the rest of her life, raised five children and her nephew, John Henry Smith, from the time he was two, because his mother, Hannah's sister Sarah Ann Libby, had died of "consumption"/tuberculosis about 1849. His son, President George Albert Smith, later became a president of the LDS Church. The Hannah Maria Libby Smith House was designated to the Provo City Historic Landmarks Register on March 21, 1996, and to the National Register of Historic Places in Utah County, Utah on February 14, 1980. It has been passed down through the family.
