The Frank Wilbur House is a historic house in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, USA near Park Square, Rhode Island. Built c. 1923, this is an architecturally distinctive bungalow form with Japanese elements. It has a complex roof line with three gables and an L-shaped entrance porch with posts mounted on high yellow-brick piers. The front windows are organized in threes with small colored-glass panes flanking clear glass.[1] Wilbur was a farmer who built this house between his farm and Woonsocket Agricultural Society fairgrounds, which is now Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Church.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
