Lyricist Richard “Dick” Smith (1901-1935) wrote the song “Winter Wonderland” in 1934 while being treated for tuberculosis in Scranton. Recorded by dozens of popular singers, it became one of the most memorable and beloved songs of the holiday season. Smith’s family lived here at 922 Church Street, and the song was inspired by his boyhood memories of playing across the street in Central Park. He passed away from TB shortly after the song was released.
