During
the 1840's, future president Zachary Taylor was commander
of the military garrison at Fort Smith. His private home
was once located behind what is now the Immaculate Conception
Church and St. Anne's Academy, at 13th and Garrison. A fire
destroyed the home just before the turn-of-the-century,
but what is referred to as Zachary Taylor's Chimney is still
standing.
