The Smith-Little-Mars House is a historic mansion in LaFollette, Tennessee, USA. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 7, 1976. Built in 1840 by slaves for Frank Smith in the federal style, the house is one of the few antebellum homes remaining in the area. It is conjectured that the slaves who built the house belonged to Frank Kincaid II, because of the similarity in design and brickwork to other houses in Campbell and Claiborne County. In the late 1890s, the house was purchased by Silas Little, a wealthy clothing store owner, who added Victorian embellishments.^[2] The house suffered severe damage from a fire in 2015 or 2016, which gutted much of the interior.
