- Summary
- John T. (John Thomas) Smith (1868-1938), was the son of confectioner Edward Smith (born Edward Colgan) and Anne Grady Smith. He lived his entire life at 154 Greenwich Street in Manhattan, also the site of the family's main candy store. The family's increasing wealth derived from the candy business and real estate holdings in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Washington, D.C. The John T. Smith diaries, 1884-1894 (in 10 volumes), document the daily activities and thoughts of an energetic and alert young New Yorker, presenting a panorama of New York City life at a time of great urban expansion and social change.
