The James Smith Homestead is a historic house on 5 Russell Farm Road in Kennebunk, Maine.
[3] The house is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a central chimney, clapboard siding, and a granite foundation.
The main facade, oriented roughly southwest, is symmetrical, with a center entrance set in an arched opening, flanked by pilasters and topped by a gabled pediment.
[2] James Smith purchased 50 acres (20 ha) of land in this area from Caleb Littlefield in 1753, and built a house soon afterward.
The present house has traditionally been ascribed a construction date of 1753,[2] but architectural analysis has revealed that it was more likely built around 1800.
