The '''Joseph Pierce Farm''' is an historic farm at 933 Gilbert Stuart Road in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. It consists of {{convert|18|acre|ha}} of land, along with an 18th-century farmhouse and a number of 19th-century outbuildings. The oldest portion of the house, its southern ell, was originally built with a gable roof, but this was extended to the north in the late 18th or early 19th century, and given it present gambrel roof and Federal styling. Later additions in the 19th and 20th centuries gave the house its present cruciform appearance. Outbuildings dating to the 19th century include a barn with attached privy, a toolshed, and a henhouse. The complex is a well-preserved reminder of the area's rural heritage.<ref name=NRHP>{{cite web|url=http://www.preservation.ri.gov/pdfs_zips_downloads/national_pdfs/north_kingstown/noki_historic-resources-of-north-kingstown.pdf|title=Historic Resources of North Kingstown (PDF pages 49-50)|publisher=Rhode Island Preservation|accessdate=2014-11-10}}</ref>
