The Smith and Dow Block is a historic apartment house at 1426-70 Elm Street in Manchester, New Hampshire. When built in 1892, this four story brick building was the largest apartment block in the state, and still dominates its section of Elm Street. It presents 230 feet (70 m) of frontage to Elm Street and is 71 feet (22 m) deep, and had 40 units at a time when most apartment blocks had no more than 10-12. It has modest Romanesque styling elements, and was designed by William M. Butterfield, one of Manchester's leading architects, as an investment property for John Butler Smith and Frederick C. Dow.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
