The Smith House is a historic home located on Albany Post Road in Town of Montgomery, Orange County, New York, approximately two miles north of NY 17K and a mile southwest of Walden. In 1759 one of the town's original settlers, Wilhelm Schmitt (later Anglicized to Smith) built a stone house on the site. His descendants replaced it in 1850 with a Greek Revival-styled house that incorporates some of the original fabric.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1]
