The Moses Taft House is a historic house at 111 East Wallum Lake Road in Burrillville, Rhode Island. The 1+1⁄2-story side-gable Cape style house was built in 1786, and is a well-preserved example of early Federal architecture. It exhibits the typical five-bay facade, with the entry in the center bay, and a large central chimney. The house underwent a major restoration in the 2000s. Moses Taft was an early owner of the house. He was a farmer who operated a nearby grist mill[2] on the Clear River.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.
