The Wyeth-Smith House is an historic house in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It is a 2+12-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof. Its only significant decorative element is the entrance, which is flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters, with an entablature above. It was built in 1820 by Jacob Wyeth, and leased to Ebenezer Smith, a tenant farmer.
