The George J. Smith House is located on Albany Avenue (NY 32) in Kingston, New York, United States. It is a Queen Anne Style frame house built in the 1880s. Its interior has been slightly modified since then.
In addition to being a representative example of the Queen Anne Style in Kingston, it was home to George J. Smith, who served a term as the area's congressman. In 2002 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Currently its lower floor is a local Montessori school, and the upper floor is an apartment.
The George J. Smith House is situated on a 100 by 450 feet (30 by 137 m) lot on the north side of a divided section of Albany Avenue, a short distance east of its junction with Interstate 587 and NY 28. The neighborhood is residential, with most houses of similar vintage. The John Smith House next door to the west is also listed on the Register, as is the Sharp Burial Ground across Albany a short distance to the east. Another house is to the east with a woodlot to the north.
The house itself is a three-story building on a brick foundation sided in a mix of cedar clapboard and wood shingle. It has steeply pitched multiple intersecting gable roofs and projecting bays covered in red shingles.
