The Bradford Smith Building was a historic building at 1927-1941 Purchase Street in New Bedford, Massachusetts. It was a 3-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a double-gabled roof and a stone and brick foundation. It was built in 1887 by Bradford Smith, a retired employee of the Taunton-New Bedford Copper Company, and housed retail space on the first floor and apartments above.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984,[1] and was included in the Acushnet Heights Historic District in 1989. It underwent a certified rehabilitation for use as senior housing in 1985.[2] It has since been demolished.[3]
