The Dick Smith House  
   
 
     
     
  This two-story, white Victorian home is located at 922 Church Street and is just across the street from Honesdale's beautiful Central Park. This house was the boyhood home of Honesdale native Dick Smith who wrote the renowned holiday classic, "Winter Wonderland". Smith said that the enchanting snows that blanketed his beloved Pocono Mountains every year were his inspiration for the song. Smith's view of a beautiful snow covered Central Park, right across the street from his boyhood home, also probably contributed to Smith's inspiration. Smith's musical gift to the world remains one of the most memorable songs in American history.
