The Smith Mansion, also known as the Smith Family Cabin, is a large, prominent structure with a height of roughly 75 ft (22.9 m) in the Wapiti Valley in Wapiti, Wyoming. The mansion can be easily spotted if traveling down the North Fork Highway towards Yellowstone National Park, due to its towering, dark and intimidating architectural style. It takes the form of a large log tower, with sections seemingly tacked on haphazardly, although the tower is very stable.
