The Oliver House, also known as the Smith-Oliver House, stands at 58 Oak Street in Wakefield, Massachusetts, as a notable example of Federal-period architecture built around 1790. Blending Federal and Georgian architectural styles, this two-family residence is distinguished by its two "Beverly jogs"—distinctive architectural features characteristic of the era—and serves as an important reminder of the region's agrarian heritage before its transformation into a suburban community. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014, the house preserves a significant chapter of Wakefield's domestic and social history.
