Smith Observatory was an observatory at Beloit College in Beloit, Wisconsin. Completed in 1882, the observatory was funded by Janette S. Herrick and named in memory of her brother, John F. Smith. It served the campus from 1882 until the 1950s. In 1967, it was used as a coffee house before being torn down in 1969.[https://www.beloit.edu/archives/history/buildings/smith_observatory/ Smith Observatory]. Beloit College Archives.
