CELEBRATION BOUTIQUE EMERGES FROM SMITHVILLE RENOVATION

Owners navigate risks in restoration of 1895 structure

SMITHVILLE — A long-standing piece of Smithville history is beginning a new chapter after an extensive downtown restoration effort.

The 1895 structure at 110 Main St. was once home to Charlie’s BBQ and later the Smithville Playhouse. It has since been restored and reopened as Faire La Nouba, which owner Rachael Tolbert describes as a celebration store, bottle shop and gift boutique.
