Located near Smithfield in Johnston County, North Carolina, the Watson-Sanders House is a two-story, three-bay frame I-house built around 1820. The dwelling features a double engaged front piazza and an original rear shed piazza. The interior was remodeled in the Greek Revival style when the house was relocated to its present site in 1854, blending its earlier vernacular form with mid-nineteenth-century neoclassical taste. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.
