About this property

The Dr. Ezekiel Ezra Smith House is a historic house at 135 South Blount Street in Fayetteville, North Carolina. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with complex massing typical of the Queen Anne architectural style. Its main block has a side-gable roof, with a projecting bay section at the right of the front facade that is topped by a gable. A hip roof porch extends from the center of the projecting bay around to the left side. The house was built in 1902, and is unusual as a Queen Anne house in one of the city's historical African-American neighborhoods. Dr. Ezekiel Ezra Smith, for whom the house was built, was instrumental in the development of North Carolina's first State Colored Normal School (for the training of African-American teachers), established in Fayetteville in 1877. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.
