Dr. Robert Smith House, Historic residence in Akron, United States.
The two-story wooden house features Craftsman style architecture with extended eaves, exposed rafters, and a front porch supported by brick piers.
From 1915 to 1950, this house became the foundation site of Alcoholics Anonymous when Dr. Robert Smith and Bill Wilson established their revolutionary recovery program.
The interior restoration reflects the 1930s period, including the Surrender Room where individuals embrace the spiritual principles of Alcoholics Anonymous recovery.
Located at 855 Ardmore Avenue, the house museum opens daily from noon to 3 PM, offering guided tours through the preserved rooms and artifacts.
The kitchen table where Dr. Smith and Bill Wilson formulated the core principles of Alcoholics Anonymous remains a central feature of this National Historic Landmark.
