The Joel Smith House is a historic house at the northeast corner of the junction of United States Route 167 and County Route 5 in rural Union County, Arkansas. Built c. 1840, this two-story vernacular I-house was the home of Joel Smith, one of the first white settlers of Union County. The house is a rare surviving early example of a typical colonial-style house with matching shed-roof side porches. The property is also thought likely to yield archaeological finds useful in assessing and understanding frontier life in the area.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
