The Nathan Westcott House is a historic house in Cranston, Rhode Island. This -story gambrel-roofed wood-frame house was built c. 1770 as a "half house", and extended about 20 years later, based on architectural evidence. The house was probably built by Nathan Westcott, a member of the locally prominent Westcott family, whose progenitor was among the area's early settlers. The house was later owned by the Joy family, whose homestead stands next door.[1]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
