Built circa the 1840s by A.K. McWilliams, this story-and-one-half Federal-style raised cottage with Greek Revival elements was the residence of Amos Smith, who named the town of Prattville. Its west front parlor was the meeting place where the Prattville Dragoons, a Civil War unit, was organized in 1861. Occupied for many years by George L. and Abbie Holt Smith, the house remained in the hands of their descendants until 1995. Charles Rice, a nephew by marriage of George and Abbie Smith’s son, Frederick D. Smith, donated it to Autauga County Heritage Association and the City of Prattville for use as a museum. This antebellum home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as inclusive in the Daniel Pratt Historic District.
