Located on West Main Street in Aspen, Colorado, the Smith–Elisha House is a wood-frame residence built in 1890 and considered one of the city's finest examples of Queen Anne architecture. The house takes its name from two notable owners: Eben Smith, a mine owner who championed safety improvements during Aspen's silver-mining boom, and Mansor Elisha, an inadvertent Hotel Jerome proprietor who later served as mayor. Constructed in the late nineteenth century, the house has retained its integrity through the decades and was recognized on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
