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 it still dominates its section of Elm Street. 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.[2] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
