Historical Significance:

"When Charles Platt and his two brothers came and founded Plattsburgh, they were each given “gift lots.” Charles balloted 61 acres of land, which lays from the lake shore to D'Youville academy to Cornelia Street. Although the exact date of when the building was built is unknown, proof of a deed of part of the land was sold to John Palmer and the house was built sometime in the 1840's. Upon the death of Palmer, the house was deeded to a Roxanne Sawyer who sold the property to a Savina Cane in 1868. In 1893, Mrs. Smith bought the house from Cane. Smith restored and did extensive repairs to the home and resided there until her death in 1934. Smith was very involved in the Saranac Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). She deeded the home to the organization and since then the house has been the home of the chapter."
