1301 Nash Street NW, Wilson, NC 27893

Located in the West Nash Historic District, The Smith-Bishop House is on the National Register of Historic Places. With Oliver Nestus Freeman stonework it has been described as the ''most robust of three significant Western Stick style bungalows in Wilson. It was built in 1918 for William B Smith, the president of Planters Bank and the developer of West End Park. This one-story house features a broad front gable filled with a decorative lattice; a similar, but smaller gable shelters the porte cochere on the West End Avenue elevation. The noteworthy use of granite for the massive pillars and exterior end, half-shoulder chimney is also characteristic with the form in Wilson. Uncommon here are the stuccoed walls with woodshingled gables and the triple twelve-over-one sash windows which flank the central entrance. Also noteworthy are the notched exposed rafters. The interior focuses on a massive granite fireplace and has French doors and modest woodwork. Like many of the other houses on West Nash Street, the Smith-Bishop House has a yard shaded by large oak trees. A distinctive feature here is the use of short stone pedestals to mark the sidewalk and the front corners of the lot.''(Tom Butchko, Author).
