[1] The Simeon P. Smith House is located on The Hill, a cluster of historic properties south of Deer and High streets which was created as part of a road widening project.

Its central doorway is framed by pilasters and has a triangular pediment above a four-light transom window.

The interior includes Federal-style cornices, and a fine carved arch in the central hall.

Although many rooms retain original Federal period styling, some were altered by subsequent owners to have simpler Greek Revival elements.

The house originally stood on the north side of Deer Street, facing south.
