The Dr. Benjamin Franklin Smith House is a historic house in Waco, Tennessee, U.S..
The house was built in the early 1850s for William M. Hackney, a horse saddler.[1] It was purchased by Dr. Benjamin Frankly Smith in 1855.[1] By 1860, he owned eight slaves.[1] During the American Civil War of 1861–1865, his son William T. Smith served in the Confederate States Army.[1] Meanwhile, Benjamin died at the end of the war, in 1865.[1] The house was subsequently inherited by his descendants until 1938.[1]
The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since August 23, 2006.[2]
