The Goldsmith Block is an historic apartment building at 41 Ruggles Street, 746-750 Shawmut Avenue in Boston, Massachusetts. The four story, orange brick building was built in 1892 by Samuel Goldsmith to a design by Cornelius Russell, a regionally notable designer of apartment blocks. The building has restrained Classical Revival and Romanesque elements. It is one of a small number of 19th-century buildings to survive an urban redevelopment project in the area during the 1960s.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
