The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is restoring the house that was Smith’s home for several years – a site in suburban Kirtland considered sacred by the church’s congregates.
KIRTLAND, Ohio – When Joseph Smith arrived in Kirtland with a group of followers in 1831, they built a community to serve as headquarters of the fledgling religion that would become The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The house, a two-story wood frame building located on Ohio 306 near the Kirtland Temple, was Smith’s home from 1833 to 1838, when he and his followers moved west. Already a large addition on the back of the house and a porch across the front of the building have been removed. Walton did not have an estimate of the total cost. But Kirtland Mayor Kevin Potter said that until now, the church has not hesitated to spend money on its projects. He cited extensive infrastructure improvements made when Historic Kirtland was developed.
In an interview with The New York Times, a historic sites curator for the church said the project was an attempt to clearly show the town’s significance. Lydia Mihalik, director of the Ohio Department of Development, said heritage tourism is a major contributor to the state’s $47-billion tourism industry.
