The Milton Wirt Smith House, built in 1891–92, occupies a 100' x 100' lot in Caruther's Addition… The Caruther's Addition became an important residential area in southwest Portland at the end of the nineteenth century… While Italianate and Queen Anne styles were among the most popular, the Milton W. Smith House may have inaugurated a new trend in Oregon's architecture. The building was perhaps Portland's first Colonial Revivalist style residence, was certainly one of the earliest built in the state, and was possibly the first residence constructed in Portland which was wired for electricity.
