Located just off downtown Plains is the home Rosalynn Smith Carter’s (1927-2023) childhood home. She lived here with her parents, Wilburn and Allie Smith, her brothers, Jerry and Murray, and her sister, Allethea. Her family moved into the home when she was a toddler.

The modest Queen Anne home, built in 1910, contributes to the historic district.

Below are photos of the home from the Library of Congress’s Historic American Buildings survey.

(side note: I just happen to be driving through Plains about an hour before it was announced that President Carter had passed away.)
