Park Complex consists of Park House and Park Annex. Both houses in the Park Complex are old homes with close links to the history of Northampton and Smith College.
 An elaborate house with a view of Paradise Pond, Park House was built in 1880 by W.T. Clement, the founder of Clement Cutlery Company. In 1909, the house was acquired by Mrs. Emily Malbon, who rented it as off-campus housing for Smith students. When Smith College acquired the property in 1923, Mrs. Malbon's (as it was once known) became Park House, named for one of the original trustees of the college, Reverend Edwards Amasa Park. Park Annex, which once belonged to members of the Look family who gave Northampton Look Park, was also rented as off-campus housing to Smith students before it was acquired by the college in 1920.
 Located on the West side of Elm Street, Park Complex links the Smith College central campus with the group of residential buildings known as The Quadrangle. The Park complex is in a scenic spot, near the president's house and Paradise Pond. It is a five minute walk from the houses to the central campus area where the libraries, classrooms, and administrative buildings are located, and about a 10- minute walk to downtown Northampton. Many Park Complex residents prefer to have bicycles on campus and cycle to class or town.
A total of 66 students live in Park complex. There are 34 single and 16 double rooms in the Park complex. Every room is wired for CyberSmith. Park Complex offers its residents all the comforts of home. Each house has a microwave, ironing board and soda machine. There are coin-operated washers and dryers in Park House.
