The William Koger House is a historic residence near Smithsonia, Alabama. The house was built around 1830 by William and Martha Koger, planters from Virginia. The Kogers brought their native architectural form, the Tidewater-type cottage, with them to North Alabama. The house was the center of a 630-acre (255-ha) plantation, which included an island in the Tennessee River. After William's death, Martha continued to manage the farm until her death in 1892.
