Frederick, Md., March 7.— Ezra Houck, Jr., has purchased from Mrs. Francis Fenwick Smith her residence on East Second street. The house, one of the landmarks of the city, was built in 1828 or 1829 by Miss Victoire de la Vincendiere, a member of a noted French family, who came to this country in 1792 from San Domingo. The late Enoch Louis Lowe, formerly Governor of Maryland, whose wife was formerly Miss Esther Polk, of Baltimore, and who is now residing in that city, also lived there. Governor Lowe's mother was of the Vincendiere family. Dr. Charles Smith purchased the property from the Lowes in 1861.
