H.C. Smyser was a builder for whom Wilson and Wilson did a good deal of row house work. Smyser built Wilson and Wilson's house for Mrs. McKim at 1035 North Calvert Street, the model house for Belvidere Terrace, and may have built the east side of Belvidere Terrace itself.

Here it is likely that Smyser was developing and building a commercial building. The word "warehouse" in the 1880s still meant a building for the storage and display of wares. If a contractor had built a building for his own use, he would probably have used the words "yard" and/or "office," depending on the kind of building.
