The mansion contained twenty-five rooms with twenty-five fireplaces, and cost $175,000 to build and furnish. Unfortunately, Smith Daniell only lived in the large mansion for a few weeks before he died.
The home survived the war only to be totally destroyed on February 17, 1890, by a fire said to have been caused by a party guest who carelessly dropped a cigarette.
