The Benjamin Franklin Smyth House is a historic house in Louisville, Mississippi. It was built in 1840 for John Brown Smyth, a settler who owned slaves, and his four sons.[2] After his death, his son Benjamin Franklin Smyth inherited the house and expanded it with the help of another brother, Samuel Washington Smyth,[2] who also built the Foster-Fair House. Benjamin Franklin Smyth lived in this house with his wife, née Margaret Tankersley, and at least one son, Sylvester.[2] By the 1990s, the house still belonged to the Smyth family.[2]
The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since February 25, 1994.[1]
