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.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 as the "Curtis S. Smith House".
