His major buildings were ornaments of Philadelphia, where he lived. But his reputation also brought him commissions from as far away as Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Shrewsbury, New Jersey, and Williamsburg, Virginia. Among his accomplishments were the steeple of Christ Church (1753-54), St. Peters Church (1758-61), The Walnut Street Jail (1773-74), and Benjamin Franklins House (1763-65).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Brand: Athenaeum of Philadelphia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67948272648245,"sku":"ByrdShop_0916530175","price":35.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_0916530175.jpg?v=1794610639","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/robert-smith-architect-builder-patriot-17221777-9780916530174","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
