The W. B. Smith Whaley House, a three-story Queen Anne style frame dwelling built in 1892–1893 in Columbia, South Carolina, showcases the architectural exuberance characteristic of the era with its corner turret crowned by a conical roof and a long curving enclosed front porch. Constructed for W. B. Smith Whaley, president of the Columbia Electric Street Railway and Mill Stable Company, the house features an irregular plan typical of Queen Anne residential design. In 1924, the building transitioned to use as the Dunbar Funeral Home. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
