About
The Smith House is described on its website as “the only grand townhouse remaining in downtown Nashville.” The building was constructed in the late 1840s as an example of Italianate architecture. According to the site’s history, the property hosted the original Standard Club beginning in 1895, described as one of Nashville’s premier social establishments of its era. The building later served as the Savage House medical residence, and subsequently operated as a bed-and-breakfast and tea room.
The Smith family purchased and restored the property in 2005. Their son, Joshua, later expanded the venue into the current restaurant and private club, which carries forward the Standard name as a nod to the building’s history as the home of the original Standard Club. The website frames the present-day operation as a continuation of this lineage, pairing the restored Italianate townhouse with a modern fine dining and private club concept.
