The S. Curtis Smith House is a historic house at 56 Fairmont Avenue in Newton, Massachusetts. The 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built c. 1883, and is one of Newton's finest Queen Anne Victorian houses. It exhibits a full range of that style's features, including asymmetrical massing with numerous and varied gables, a tower with an octagonal arched roof, bands of different types of shingling, and an ornately decorated front portico. The house was built for S. Curtis Smith, a schoolteacher.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 as the "Curtis S. Smith House".[1]
