The F.W. Smith Silver Company is a historic factory building at 60 Chestnut Street in Gardner, Massachusetts. The three story brick building was built in 1892 by Frank W. Smith,[2] who had begun manufacturing sterling silver silverware in 1887. The business continued under a succession of owners until 1958. The building is locally distinguished for its late Victorian commercial style, including a tower with pyramidal roof, and stained glass windows.[3]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
