The son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Fox) Rakestraw (q.v.), he had become important in Carpenters' Company affairs by the 1760s, although the date of his election is unknown due to the loss of all Company records prior to that time. He served as Warden from 1768 and Assistant from 1774; as senior Assistant, he automatically became President of the Company in 1779.

"The original William Smith Hall, on the site of the present Middle Hall (C-83), was the largest building in Maryland in its day. The cornerstone was laid in 1783 by then Governor William Paca and the building was dedicated on June 17, 1788. Described as "Chippendale-Georgian" in design, the edifice was noted for its balancing of structure, both laterally and vertically. It consisted of a central section with large Palladian window and two flanking sections. Bricks for the building were made on the property. The structure was probably designed by Joseph Rakestraw of the Carpenters' Company, Philadelphia, after designs by Robert Smith. The workmen, from Philadelphia, were under the direction of Robert Allison, also of the Carpenters' Company. Nicholas Hicks, master mason of Philadelphia, completed the list of craftsmen. January 1827 found William Smith Hall destroyed by fire. The College officials were never successful in raising funds to rebuild it, and in 1845 Middle Hall was erected on the site. *PA Gazette 5/12/1784 - #539 Chosen manager of Contributors to Relief and Employment of the Poor in Philadelphia.
