In 1953, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Smith, owners of Panama Supply and Equipment, built their dream home on the exquisite drive that connects Panama City to the village of St. Andrews. Fitting to their position in the building industry, the finest materials and the best craftsmen were employed in construction of the home. Most recently, $600,000 was expended in extensive renovations and improvements to the already remarkable residence. Plaster moldings in the formal rooms of the home were restored. Hard wood floors were returned to their original luster. Chandeliers original to the home were located and re-installed. A master bedroom suite was created from what had been two separate bedrooms providing two master suites on the first floor. The kitchen was rebuilt with commercial grade appliances. An expansive wine cellar was built in the finished basement, a powder room was located next to the parlor and library and then you have the Florida room, a lovely, relaxing room with its wrap around views of the bay and gardens. The suite located above the three-car garage was also completely renovated. No expense was spared in restoring the home and adding to it those features that give it modern currency and value. Energy efficient hurricane proof protective windows were added. All wiring and electrical systems were replaced as were heating and air-conditioning. A natural gas generator was installed. Insulation was upgraded and every surface refurbished, remodeled or restored. All electric wiring leading to the residence was buried. With the assistance of a landscape architect, a $200,000 landscaping project was completed including a pergola that overlooks the bay. The result is a lush and relaxing paradise
