The Peter D. Smith House at Waterloo Village
The Peter D. Smith house was erected in 1871, the same year Peter, 26, was married. The house overlooks the village and has a sweeping view of the Musconetcong River and Morris Canal.
Peter D. Smith, grandson of John Smith, had this elaborate home with its fashionable Mansard roof and Second French Empire architecture built circa 1870. Peter D. married Ann Elizabeth Sandford of Newark and they had four children. Sadly, but not uncommon for the times, their two daughters died during childhood.
Their oldest son married his childhood friend and love, Claribel Stackhouse, on his deathbed and died at the age of 26.
The surviving child, Sandford Roy Smith (1887-1982), lived in Waterloo Village in his younger years and inherited his father’s estate.
