The Smith House is a historic house at 607 West Arch Avenue in Searcy, Arkansas. Built in 1920, it is a rare local example of a prefabricated mail order house, produced by the Sears, Roebuck company as model #264P202 of the Sears Modern Homes. It is a two-story frame structure, with a side gable roof and novelty siding. The roof has extended eaves with exposed rafters and large brackets in the gable ends, and there is a projecting gable section in the center of the front facade. A porch wraps around to the left of this section, its shed roof supported by brick piers.[2]
