Captain William Smith House, Colonial house in Lincoln, United States.
The Captain William Smith House, built in 1692, features a four-floor layout with a central chimney and original casement windows on North Great Road.
During the Battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775, the house served as a temporary medical station for a wounded British soldier who later died there.
The residence belonged to Captain William Smith, commander of Lincoln Minutemen and brother of Abigail Adams, who married future president John Adams.
Visitors can examine architectural documentation, photographs, and measured drawings of the house through the Library of Congress collection under code HABS MA-833.
The building contains one of only three remaining examples of plaster cove cornices from the late 1600s found in Massachusetts.
