When they were living at 625 Green St. in Gainesville, the late Isabelle and Sidney O. Smith Sr. had 12 grandchildren who spent a lot of time at that iconic house, referred to as the Charters-Smith house for the families that built it and lived in it for so many years.The house, now used for offices, overflows with memories for those grandchildren. Their grandfather entertained them with stories, which they listened to with delight.
