Here is a little history about the home - The house was built by Clinton Earnest Smith, long term resident of Rising Star. He built it one room at a time sometime in the late 30’s or early 40’s. It was built as a wood frame to begin with. After completing the house, he added the rock on the outside. The fireplace was also built by C. E. Smith out of petrified wood that he picked up in the Brownwood area while working at Camp Bowie.  C. E. Smith was a very accomplished arborist who grafted and created the pecan tree in the yard close to the road. This tree produced the best, largest paper shell pecans in Texas in the 1960’s. C. E. Smith also helped build the Community Center, now known as the City Market in Rising Star.
