Historical Note 

Born in New Albany, Indiana on July 4, 1869, Smith began his architectural career under the supervision of Mason Maury. Before opening his own office in 1895, he worked with T.C. Link (St. Louis), D.X. Murphy as well as Dodd and Cobb (Louisville). Smith is known best for his residential designs, particularly those in the Prairie and Craftsman styles. Many examples of his work still stand today and can be found throughout both the Highlands and Crescent Hill neighborhoods.

Smith married Margaret J. Brown on October 15, 1895. In 1947, he relinquished his architecture license and subsequently stopped practicing. Arthur Raymond Smith died on July 20, 1955.
