The Simeon P. Smith House is a historic house in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It is located on The Hill, a cluster of historic properties south of Deer Street which was created as part of a road widening project. The Federal style house was built between 1810 and 1811 for Simeon P. Smith, a Portsmouth cooper. The house features a doorway with pilasters for sides and a triangular pediment as well as two brick chimneys on either side of the roof; its interior includes Federal style cornices and ornamentation. As one of the few middle-class dwellings to survive the Portsmouth fire of 1813, the house serves as an example of a tradesman's home in Portsmouth in the early 1800s. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 14, 1972.
