The Smithville Depot is located at Main and North Milton Streets in Smithville Ohio. It was built in 1882, and was a stop on the Wheeling-Lake Erie (W&LE) railroad. The original location was on the south side of Main Street on the west side of the tracks at N40 52.098 W81 51.071. It was moved to its current location from the tracks in 1975. It served as home to several businesses over the years after being moved. The Smithville Community Historical Society (SCHS) acquired the structure in late-2010 along with the adjacent caboose.
