Own a piece of history as we auction off items from the historic Smith Hospital located in Paris, Arkansas.These items were donated by the Smith family. All proceeds from the sale price of this auction will go towards the restoration of the Smith Hospital building. The total projected project cost is approximately $6 million. In November of 2023, the Smith Hospital Association was awarded $3.8 million in grant funding from the Arkansas Department of Commerce to be used to revitalize the historic building. Phase one of the project will cover basic repairs to the building and restoration of the first floor. Smith Hospital is a former medical facility in Paris, Arkansas, located at the northern end of Express Street. Built in 1913 and enlarged in 1926, it was the first hospital in Logan County. It consists of an original two-story brick building, to which a three-story annex was added in 1926. Its interior finishes reflect alterations made in 1926. It served as the local hospital until 1971 and remained a medical clinic for several years after. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. All items are being sold for their historical and sentimental value and not for any medical purposes.
