H. D. Smith Company Building (also known as American Standard Company Building) is a historic building at 24 West Street in Plantsville, Connecticut.

H. D. Smith & Co. Works. Plantsville, Connecticut in 1893[2]

The picturesque[3] building has an embellished style of industrial architecture, including a cupola and a motif of scrollwork incorporated in the design of its porch.[2]

It was built in 1882 for the H. D. Smith & Co. and added to the National Register in 1977.[4]

In August 2015, the building, as well of the remainder of the old H. D. Smith & Co. Works, was purchased from the Florian family for $350,000 by Jon Rondeau. Rondeau intends to rehabilitate the site and turn it into a high-end whiskey and bourbon distillery.[3]
