The Thomas and Esther Smith House (also known as the Mathew Noble House) is a 1½ story, Colonial Georgian style house with a gambrel roof. It was built in 1757. Due to community efforts the Thomas Smith house was saved from demolition. As the oldest house in Agawam this colonial era Georgian house has great historical significance for the town.

It will be open to the public when restoration is completed.
